Reply to "Proposal: early-childhood trauma promotes up to six psychological "wounds""

I couldn't agree more Peter! I'm training with Dr. Bruce Perry on how to create a functional neurological brain map to actually assess developmental delays, rather than just labeling symptoms. When we think about mental illness as brain trauma, it changes the way we work.

One particular example comes to mind, where I see so many children diagnosed with ADHD and Conduct Disorder without any history being considered. The diagnosis is based primarily on apparent behavioral symptoms. And so rather than seeing complex developmental trauma with a distressed stress response system, we see ADHD and Oppositional Disorder, and so on. And the prescriptive consequences are serious.
