This paper outlines an attachment-theory based model of trans generational trauma I

inspired by the successful psychoanalytical treatment of a severely disturbed
adolescent with obsessive compulsive disorder who was the first child of the first
daughter of a holocaust survivor. The results is to proposed that the transmission of
specific trauma ideas across generations may be mediated by a vulnerability to
dissociative states established on the infant by frightened or frightening caregiving,
which is results in trauma-related. Disorganized attachment behavior in infancy may
indicate an absence of self-organization, or dissociative core self. This leaves the
child susceptible to the internalization of sets of trauma-related ideation from the
attachment figure, which remain iunntegrated in the self-structure and cannot be
reflected on or talked about. This research is relevant to my community problem
report because I can describe how it can affect children in influence of war by not
getting treated and can be a higher risk for children to have trans generational trauma,

for the parents to be aware of what can affect their own children especially in times of
war.

The authors of this article are a group of researchers who examines the number and
types of traumas children face growing up in a war-torn country and the relation of
such traumatic experiences to their psychosocial development. Results from a sample
of 224 Lebanese children (10-16) were interviewed by using measures of war
measure, mental-health symptoms, adaptional changes, and Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD). It vary from the different type of childrens war traumas by type
of age, gender, fathers occupation status, and mothers educational level. The results
from the researchers were the number of traumas experienced by a child was related
to PTSD symptoms; different types of war trauma were differently related PTSD,
mental health symptoms, and additional outcomes. This research is particularly
relevant to my community problem since my research involves how children are
affected during war and the on-going war in Syria, and also Im researching the
outcomes of these types of situations have on the child.

The authors discuss traumatic situations and communal risk factors faced by the
average Palestinian child during times of war. Unlike most research, which limits
Palestinian children experiences to military-related traumatic events, this article
attempts to illustrate their common use and from what is derived from observation.
The authors address different types of stress and trauma that face Palestinian children
and compare the situation during the first and second Intifadas, also concepts such as
trauma, witnessing, trans generational, familial, and communal stress factors, and
secondary trauma are discussed. This article will be an excellent source of
information since it talks about how Lebanon children are affected during war which
would help me since Im focusing on Syria children, it will be a great comparison and
information for my community report.

armed conflict, essential to comprehending the needs of children in these situations

and to finding a way of their state of well-being. The authors use identification in
using a photo essay to use forceful statements of how war affects children and
providing a conceptual framework for addressing wars negative effect on children.
This research is relevant to my community problem since it investigates how children
are particularly treated when there is war and my community problem will mention a
three year old boy named Aylan Kurdi from Syria who he and his family were
running away from their war torn country but ended tragically dying, and how the
little boy washed ashore on Turkish soil.
