Die aktuelle weltpolitische Lage führt dazu, dass immer mehr potentiell traumatisierte Kinder der Unterstützung von Fachleuten – auch in der psychologischen Grundversorgung - bedürfen. Traumata können bei Kindern aber auch durch Hospitalisationen und damit verbundene medizinische Eingriffe, Un...fälle o.ä. ausgeloest werden, wie im Folgenden beschrieben wird.
Die Diagnose von Traumafolgestörungen bei Kindern ist durch die Tatsache erschwert, dass sie eine Reihe unspezifischer und altersabhängiger Symptome zeigen, die auch bei anderen Störungen auftreten, was unter Umständen zu Fehldiagnosen (ADHS) führen kann.
Aus diesem Grund hat die vorliegende Arbeit zum Ziel, Fachpersonen eine Zusammenstellung grundlegender Informationen zur Entstehung und Diagnostik von Traumafolgestörungen sowie einen Überblick über gängige Diagnoseinstrumente zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Kinder haben besondere Bedürfnisse nach Schutz, Förderung und Beteiligung. Diese gilt es im Sinne der UN-Kinderrechtskonvention von Geburt an zu berücksichtigen. Die besondere Situation geflüchteter Kinder wird in Deutschland bisher noch unzureichend wahrgenommen. Sie gehören zu einer sehr vuln...erablen Gruppe
und ihre Familien sind durch restriktive Lebensbedingungen mit vielfältigen Belastungen konfrontiert. Diese Rahmenbedingungen stellen auch für betreuende und beratende Fachkräfte eine große Herausforderung dar.
