Although there are many high-risk children who exhibit PTSS, the current study found that the majority of children had a resilient profile. It may be that these children were targets of early intervention work, thereby providing some explanation for their resilient trajectory. Children who present with a history of acute abuse paired with clinical levels of PTSS are appropriate candidates for treatment, such as trauma-focused cognitive–behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), which has shown good efficacy with this age group (Cohen, Deblinger, Mannarino, & Steer, 2004). In addition to the inclusion of evaluations of intervention success with these high risk children, future research should consider other variables that may mediate treatment improvement. For example, examining the impact of parenting practices, social support, and access to community resources may better typify children in resilient trajectories. Such analyses would also help to clarify how resilience might be boosted in those children experiencing more chronic PTSS trajectories. Finally, there was a small group of children whose symptoms may never meet clinical criteria for PTSD, but who have relatively chronic levels of maladjustment. This group of children may perhaps be the most challenging for clinicians to assess, diagnose, and treat. Clinicians could look to multisystemic therapies (e.g., Weisz et al., 2012) for approaches that may address chronic and/or co-occurring difficulties.
