| Summary: |
Terrorism has an enormous traumatogenic potential, especially for a vulnerable group
such as children and young people. However, few studies have examined the possible adverse
consequences of terrorism on children. This paper aims to conduct a systematic review of the
literature on psychological consequences for children exposed to terrorist acts. Fifty-four
papers were reviewed, mainly from the United States of America (72.22%) and related to the
attack of September 11th, 2001 in New York (50%). In most cases, PTSD symptoms were
analyzed (64.81%) in children who experienced victimization indirectly, through their
exposure to attack information in the media (33.33%). Trained professionals are needed to
work with child victims of terrorism, who can recognize the symptoms associated with these
experiences and the damaging effects that can lead to children |
