Methods: Transversal study with youngsters aged 18 to 29 years. A convenience sampling was the technique used from June 2010 to March 2011. Young people with clinical diagnosis of depression who looked for psychotherapeutic assistance to reduce depressive symptoms were included in the study. Results: One hundred and ten young adults were evaluated. A negative correlation was observed between the resilience score and the severity of depressive symptoms in the general sample (r = -0.208; p = 0.029). A correlation was found between the score of resilience and the severity of depressive symptoms among the young people with a history of early trauma (r = -0.276; p = 0.044), however, among those with no traumatic experiences, there was no statistical association (r = -0.128; p = 0.386). Limitations: Retrospective report to verify early trauma experiences, in addition, the sample comprised only individuals with a depression diagnosis. Conclusion: Resilience represents a protection factor for the individuals who have experienced an early trauma, and decreases the severity of depressive symptoms / Objetivo: Verificar o impacto das vivências de trauma precoce e da capacidade de resiliência na severidade de sintomas depressivos em jovens com diagnóstico de depressão. Método: Estudo transversal com jovens de 18 a 29 anos. A seleção amostral foi realizada por conveniência, no período de Junho de 2010 a Março de 2011. Foram incluídos no estudo jovens com diagnóstico clínico de depressão que buscaram atendimento psicoterapêutico breve para a remissão de sintomas depressivos. Resultados: A amostra constituiu-se de 110 jovens. Encontrou-se correlação negativa entre o escore de resiliência e a severidade dos sintomas depressivos na amostra geral (r=-0,208; p=0,029). Entre os jovens com história de trauma precoce houve uma correlação entre o escore de resiliência e a severidade dos sintomas depressivos (r=-0,276; p=0,044), no entanto, entre os jovens sem vivências traumáticas não encontrou-se a mesma associação estatística (r=-0,128; p=0,386). Limitações: Relato retrospectivo para verificar vivências de trauma precoce, além da amostra ser composta somente por indivíduos com diagnóstico de depressão. Conclusão: A resiliência representou um fator de proteção entre indivíduos que sofreram trauma precoce, indicando atenuar a severidade dos sintomas depressivos

This thesis deals with a topic of specific needs of early traumatised children living in a foster family. The theoretical part is divided into five chapters. The first chapter describes foster care as a part of Czech system of care about children in need. The second chapter deals with the psychological development in early childhood. The third chapter applies itself to early trauma and its causes. The fourth chapter is focused on consequences of early trauma and resulting specific needs of children. The fifth chapter is devoted to the possibilities of working with early traumatised children in a foster family. The following practical part consists of three segments. The first one has a form of research among foster parents. It is focused on specific needs of children and also a need of support, which should be given to foster families. The second section presents the research survey among non-profit organisations that deal with direct support for foster families. It examines their experience with a topic of early trauma. The third section presents a unique project of one Czech organisation, which is focused on the transition of child from institutional care to family environment.

Peu d’études explorent les fréquences de traumas et d’état de stress posttraumatique (ÉSPT) chez les itinérants, spécifiquement parmi ceux avec des troubles liés à l’utilisation de substances (TUS). L’objectif principal de cette étude était de mesurer les fréquences de trauma et d’ÉSPT parmi les usagers en traitement pour des TUS à Montréal. L’autre objectif était de vérifier les différences entre ceux ayant ou non un ÉSPT. 51 individus itinérants, 9 femmes et 42 hommes, ont constitué l’échantillon. L’âge moyen était de 46 ans (SD = 7.19). Les participants ont vécu en moyenne 4.24 (SD = 2.06) types de trauma. 49% de l’échantillon avaient potentiellement un diagnostic d’ÉSPT. La majorité avait: un parent alcoolique, vécu un trauma dans l’enfance et un soutien social faible. Les participants qui avaient potentiellement un diagnostic d’ÉSPT: avaient un parent alcoolique, vécurent un trauma dans l’enfance et utilisaient davantage de stratégies de coping inadaptées. / Few studies explored the frequencies of trauma and of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among homeless individuals and especially, among those being treated for substance use disorders (SUD). The main objective of the study was to measure the frequencies of traumas and potential1 PTSD diagnosis among clients being treated for SUD in Montreal. The other objective was to verify differences between those with or without a potential PTSD diagnosis. The sample consisted of 51 homeless individuals, 9 women and 42 men. The mean age was 46 years (SD = 7.19). Participants experienced in average 4.24(SD = 2.06) trauma types. 49% of the sample had a potential PTSD diagnosis. Most participants had: an alcoholic parent, experience an early trauma and little social support. The participants who had a potential PTSD diagnosis: had an alcoholic parent, experienced an early trauma, and significantly used more maladaptive coping strategies.
