[Post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and trauma sequel disorders in adolescence]

This text examines post-traumatic stress disorders and trauma sequel disorders in adolescence, focusing in particular on the problem of transition. On the one hand, on the diagnostic level traumatizations are often not PTSD-specific, but rather self-help and self-medication measures as well as alcohol and drug addiction and dissociality, which are often not sufficiently questioned in the adult psychiatric system. On the other hand, it is about the further development and implementation of trauma pedagogical approaches, especially for young people who grow up in critical high-risk constellations or who are already in institutions of youth welfare or integration assistance. Here, not only a blatant lack of initial, further and continuing training for the occupational groups involved is noted, but also a lack of empirical therapy studies.
