Abstract
There has been little to know research-surrounding individuals that have succumb
to poverty, living, and those living posttraumatic stress. Statistically individuals that
suffer from a traumatic event have underlying disorders in the following three months.
The correlations’ regarding culture is a definite contribution to pathology and mental
illness. Minorities in the ghetto are suffering from undiagnosed (PTSD). There is a
stigma in the urban community regarding psychological evaluations. Nevertheless, it is
important to consider how the individual perceives himself, or sees her relations with
others and the environment Problems result from distortions in perceptions of the reality
of a situation. Idealistic values and beliefs can actually put a generation in a negative
belief system about there strengths and weakness. Children can be stressed in healthy and
tainted surroundings. The cognitive complexity is very different based a familiar values
and beliefs, In order to construct Varity of different frame works
The sociocultural perspective emphasizes the role culture plays in both the etiology and
the diagnosis or labeling of abnormal behavior, (Agosyonline2011).
In order to bring awareness, surrounding the correlation of people that suffer from
posttraumatic stress disorder need comprehensive psychological evaluations
In general, within urban and socioeconomic communities comprehensive
evaluation is not prevalent. There are significant factors that influence physical effects
of depression and post traumatic depression.

In the area of Posttraumatic stress disorder, there are few evidence based
treatment programs providing a psychological evaluation for people living in poverty.
Many programs and treatment regarding (PTSD) are usually addressing the needs of war
veterans. For example, women and or families that have succumbed to, (PTSD) rarely
seek services. Logical health coverage and awareness about the disorders is an antecedent
of the lack of treatment.
Psychological evaluation is a necessary tool to identify posttraumatic stress in people
that have succumb to proverty.While the main focus of (PTSD),has surrounded war
veteens,thier are various factors that can cause a young child to suffer from (PTSD).
Literature Review Outline
Introduction
Post Traumatic Stress is prevalent in individuals that have succumbed to poverty.
Depression, guilt pain is associated with poverty and economic instability. A lack of
basic needs may taint family system. Various disorders orders can arise when severe
depression is untreated. Economic instability can have a detrimental effect on a family
system.
The structure of the system is rigid because of poverty. Mental illness can arise
from poverty. The correlation in (PTSD) and poverty is valid. Validity may be
constructed from various, surrounding basic needs that go unmeet, For instance, due to
Socioeconomically status.

In this article, the author does not talk about people living in poverty in contrast to
the complications regarding PTSD, (Julian D. Ford Ph.D. As published in the February
1999 issue of Journal PTSD) Is in contrast to my research project.

it is not resting the conjunction with related disorders such as depression, substance
abuse, problems of memory and cognition, and other problems to live in poverty.
(PTSD) and Poverty have a correlation in a tainted community. The sample
population would be the (ghetto), tenements. In relation to the descriptive accurate
presentation, I would focus on the demographics of crime rattled communities. I am
trying to study the relationship between (PTSD) and individuals living in poverty.
Demographically the bigger the sample the better the independent variable.
Nevertheless, there is defiantly a relationship between trauma and (PTSD). Our war

addressed based on my review.

ABSTRACT
Objective
I agree with the research regarding children that have suffered sexual abuse. I
have been sexually abused as a child. The trauma from my assault has caused various

emotional and behavioral problems in my adolescent years. An early psychological
evaluation would have been a turning point for me. Nevertheless, fear and environmental
factors caused me to keep quiet. I am 33 years old and I still live in fear because the
trauma I encountered

related emotional and behavioral problems in children who have suffered sexual abuse,

Method
I agree with the alternative treatments regarding children and the exposure to tram
Two hundred twenty-nine 8- to 14-year-old children and their primary caretakers were
randomly assigned to the above alternative treatments. These children had significant
symptoms of PTSD, with 89% meeting full DSM-IV PTSD diagnostic criteria. More than
90% of these children had experienced traumatic events in addition to sexual abuse.
Results
A series analyses of covariance indicated that children assigned to TF-CBT, compared to
those assigned to child-centered therapy, demonstrated significantly more improvement
with regard to PTSD, depression, behavior problems, shame, and abuse-related
attributions. Similarly, parents assigned to TF-CBT showed greater improvement with
respect to their own self-reported levels of depression, abuse-specific distress, support of
the child, and effective parenting practices.
Conclusions

This study adds to the growing evidence supporting the efficacy of TF-CBT with children
suffering PTSD because of sexual abuse and suggests the efficacy of this treatment for
children who have experienced multiple traumas.

Post Traumatic Stress and Poverty
(Prevailing Argument)
The biological cause regarding mental illness, are the stigma surrounding
diagnoses is based on an evolutionary perspective that suggests there is a predisposition
to fear of the unknown. Although the correlation is evident, .whatever was related to
sources of serious danger among our ancestors. The preparedness hypothesis suggests
that we carry an evolutionary tendency to respond reflexively to once-feared stimuli.
Environmental Factors
California embodies a historically diverse outlook on social and
political views. Our state has the top colleges and business, which people travel across
the world to become associated. Nevertheless, individuals that have succumb to poverty
believe their problems, are the antecedent of the history. Various theorists have suggested
there is an association with environmental factors and human development and or values
and beliefs.
There are many aspects to post traumatic stress and poverty. The underlying fact that
little to know documentation of local minorities has access to qualified psychiatric
evaluations raises great concern. Posttraumatic stress is a very prevalent disorder that
many people succumb. An adequate psychological evaluation is necessary to prevent,
further depression and other disorders associated with, (PTSD). The place in which they

raise and or attempt to show the child and our children a different avenue in regards to
there choices in life.
Recognition of posttraumatic stress is a prevailing argument I would like to address
further. My home has little to know resources to gain a tangible grip around my
prevailing argument, regarding posttraumatic stress and poverty. A child in a community
that has a high crime rate will eventually succumb to various behavior problems. Poor
work ethic, low-test scores a lack of proper nutrients and guidance, would be associated
with undiagnosed posttraumatic stress disorder.
In closing, Oakland California is our nations 6th dangerous place to live. Rape, robbery
and various crimes associated with unstable community our prevalent. Various affluent
cities surround the city, but the have little to no crime. The crime is associated with urban
tent aments, poverty, and other factors that are associated with rigid unstable
communities. It is necessary for a village to raise a child. On the other hand, when the
village is tainted, the village taints the child. The underlying fact regarding
documentation of research, to prevent depression is a necessary step; I would take
regarding my research topic. The prevailing argument surrounding these factors has little
to know research. Poverty stricken Schools and community should receive access to
qualified psychiatric evaluations to help the on sight of generational tainted beliefs about
ones life worth.
(Pros and Cons)
Given the results of your literature review, what is/are the prevailing argument(s)? What
research question could you ask in order to further development is this area of study?
Outreach programs should be expanded in areas that are in need of psychological

to why your research question is important and relevant to the current work on your topic.
