迄今为止，关于战争和有组织暴力对儿童造成的大规模创伤的心理社会后果的研究主要侧重于以个人为单位进行治疗和分析，特别侧重于创伤性压力造成的精神障碍。这一研究机构促进了发展有前途的个人层面的治疗方法，以解决心理创伤。相比之下，几乎没有文献讨论大规模创伤对家庭和社区系统的影响。在斯里兰卡和阿富汗这两个长期饱受战争蹂躏的社会进行的研究发现，除了多次遭受战争或与灾害有关的创伤事件外，儿童还表示遭受家庭暴力的程度很高。这些研究结果表明，需要结合家庭和社区为基础的预防和干预方案，是专门为受影响的社会背景。特别是，在评估和治疗大规模创伤后的儿童时，应考虑到贫困、童工和父母饮酒等问题。
To date, research on the psychosocial consequences of mass trauma resulting from war and organized violence on children has primarily focused on the individual as the unit of treatment and analysis with particular focus on mental disorders caused by traumatic stress. This body of research has stimulated the development of promising individual-level treatment approaches for addressing psychological trauma. In contrast, there is virtually no literature addressing the effects of mass trauma on the family and community systems. Research conducted in Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, two long-standing war-torn societies, found that in addition to multiple exposure to war or disaster-related traumatic events children also indicated high levels of exposure to family violence. These findings point to the need for conjoint family- and community-based programs of prevention and intervention that are specifically tailored for the context of the affected society. In particular, programs should take issues such as poverty, child labor, and parental alcohol use into account in assessing and treating children in the aftermath of mass trauma.
