• Understanding interpersonal trauma in children: why we need a developmentally appropriate trauma diagnosis. (2012, background): “For example, Daigneault et al. (2006) found that poor self-esteem in maltreated children was a risk factor for adolescent psychopathology.”
• Domestic Violence, Emotional Competence, and Child Adjustment (2007, background): “O’Brien, Margolin, and John (1995) reported that children exposed to DV have better outcomes if they use avoidant and withdrawing coping strategies such as tuning out or extricating themselves from the conflict.”
