The Impact of Multiple Childhood Trauma on Homeless Runaway Adolescents (Routledge Library Editions: Adolescence)

Originally published in 1999, the author addresses the American tragedy of some two million youth running away from home each year. This title proposes a model for examining the relationship between multiple types of childhood trauma – physical, sexual and psychological abuse, exposure to domestic violence – and psychological functioning in a sample of 140 homeless adolescents.
