It presents evidence to support traumafocused psychotherapy, medications, and a combination of interventions in a multimodal approach. Key Words: child, adolescent, posttraumatic stress disorder, treatment, practice parameter. ATTRIBUTION This parameter was developed by Judith A. Cohen, M.D., primaryauthor and the Work Group on Quality Issues: Oscar Bukstein, M.D., M.P.H. and Heather Walter, M.D., M.P.H., CoChairs; and R. Scott Benson, M.D., Allan Chrisman, M.D., Tiffany R.

AACAP practice parameters are developed bythe AACAP Work Group on Quality Issues (WGQI) in accordance with American Medical Association policy. Parameter development is an iterative process between the primary author(s), the WGQI, topic experts, and representatives from multiple constituent groups, including the AACAP membership, relevant AACAP components, the AACAP Assembly of Regional Organizations, and the AACAP Council. Responsibilityfor parameter content and review rests with the author(s), the WGQI, the WGQI Consensus Group, and the AACAP Council. The AACAP develops both patient-oriented and clinician-oriented practice parameters. Patient-oriented parameters provide recommendations to guide clinicians toward best treatment practices. Recommendations are based on empirical evidence (when available) and clinical consensus(when not), and are graded according to the strength of the empirical and clinical support. Clinician-oriented parameters provide clinicians with the information (stated as principles) needed to develop practice-based skills. Although empirical evidence may be available to support certain principles, principles are primarily based on expert opinion derived from clinical experience. This parameter is apatient-oriented parameter. The primary intended audience for the AACAP practice parameters is child and adolescent psychiatrists; however, the information contained therein may also be useful for other mental health clinicians. The author wishes to acknowledge the following experts for their contributions to this parameter: Lisa Amaya-Jackson, M.D., M.P.H., Michael Debellis, M.D., M.P.H.,Anthony
