One weakness, the researcher notes, however, is the implementation of a specific example of implementing related literary techniques.
Application to the School Setting
The implementation of specific literacy strategies appropriate to aid children of abuse, as Haeseler (2006) recommends, the researcher contends, would prove to be a positive practice. The researcher would be concerned if this would add to the teacher's current stress and/or work load.
Reflection
The article by Haeseler (2006) enhanced the researcher's appreciation of the value and versatility of literature. The researcher experienced second thoughts regarding the role of the teacher as a school psychologist, albeit, in addition to his/her current responsibilities. Perhaps, schools should consider contracting with professional writers to regularly implement this type therapeutic intervention for children with PTSD.
CONCLUSION
Comparing and Contrasting
The articles by Cook-Cottone (2004), Brown et al. (2006), and Haeseler (2006) present pertinent information for teachers in regard to children with PTSD, with the first two directed toward the school psychologist.
Each article, however, the researcher asserts, appears to place all responsibility...
This particular point needs to be reconsidered, the researcher contends, with more focus on the involvement/interventions of the parent.

It is difficult to get an accurate record of the actual number of children that have been sexually abused. Many cases never come to light and because of differences in definitions of sexual assault, some cases are missed (658). Researchers have begun to explore the concept of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder with children and adults that were victims of sexual assault. Many times people associate particular events with particular stimuli. For
