Male and female attachment and severity of self-reported delinquent and risk-taking behaviors
' + '
The family is the most important influence in the lives of children, and is the first line of defense against various types of delinquent behavior. Families have the ability to serve as a protective factor, which research shows can have a very positive effect on the future of the child. Attachment to at least one parent has an immense effect on resilience in youth.

Multigenerational effects of trauma
' + '
This presentation emphasizes the time dimension in trauma assessment, showing that an approach that examines preceding generations\' trauma exposure yields the most complete assessment of an individual\'s posttraumatic status.
