Dr. Fabiana Franco published an article in “Trauma Psychology News”, with the American Psychology Association, “Complex Trauma, Complex PTSD, and Resiliency”.
She writes,

Understanding the pathways between childhood trauma and negative mental health consequences in adulthood, as well as the interplay between the early traumatic experiences and the family environment in childhood can help mental health professionals to provide effective trauma-informed care.
