Nov 7, 2022

Recent release "Empathy, Childhood Trauma and Trauma History as a Moderator" from Covenant Books author Gwendolyn Marshall, MSW, MLS, DSW-LSW, explores how unresolved trauma in a caretaker's life can lead to a lack of empathy for a child's trauma. Specifically, Marshall explores how domestic abuse and housing instability can affect child-rearing.

DEKALB, Ill. - November 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Gwendolyn Marshall, MSW, MLS, DSW-LSW, a clinical psychologist/therapist for and substitute teacher who will begin teaching social work courses as an adjunct instructor at a university in Chicago, Illinois, has completed her new book, "Empathy, Childhood Trauma and Trauma History as a Moderator": a thought-provoking study of how trauma can affect the way in which parents react to their children's traumatic responses.

"Adult care and supervision are required for children. As children develop, they will experience good and bad interactions in their environments. Trauma is defined in many ways under various circumstances. This study examines the relationship between parenting knowledge and practices and parent-child relationships involving high-risk children (0-5), and caretakers residing in shelters, and the relationship to allegations of trauma reported by the caretaker. These shelters involve domestic violence and homeless shelters. Child trauma is defined as any incident reported as harm to a child including psychological, physical abuse and or neglect resulting from omission or commission by others in the child's environment. Parental trauma is defined by a self-reported ACE score," writes author Gwendolyn Marshall, MSW, MLS, DSW-LSW. "The study inquires if empathy is present in parent-child relationships affected by familial domestic violence and residential instability. Participants reside in homeless and domestic violence shelters; adult caretakers of minor children."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Gwendolyn Marshall, MSW, MLS, DSW-LSW's new book will help readers to better understand how trauma in one person's life can lead to less empathy for others, specifically in the case of parent-child relationships in which the parent has unresolved trauma from past experiences.

Readers can purchase "Empathy, Childhood Trauma and Trauma History as a Moderator" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

In 2020, Miami sank 73 concrete sections from the SW 1st Street Bridge to create an artificial reef; the pieces now provide habitat 8 feet above the seabed

In an innovative environmental move, Miami-Dade County has submerged sections of a demolished bridge to form artificial reefs. This effort is designed to foster diverse marine life, including fish, sponges, and corals. While studies indicate that concrete is superior for building these reefs, they still fall short of the biodiversity found in natural settings. This undertaking could inspire similar projects in coastal cities nationwide.

Trump's grip on his party is in question as Republicans reel from the midterm wipeout

Republicans are experiencing internal conflict following disappointing midterm election results, leading to discussions about their future direction. The party grapples with balancing traditional conservative values and the influences of Donald Trump. Many party members express the need for accountability and strategic regrouping after their electoral losses. There is a growing concern over regaining support from disenchanted voter demographics, particularly Latinos and young voters.

MIT scientists built over 400 tiny ecosystems with 12 to 20 bacterial species; after adding an outsider, the more changeable communities were easier to invade

Researchers at MIT have discovered that chaotic ecosystems easily accept new species while stable ones resist invasion. Conventional ecological beliefs suggest high biodiversity prevents invasions, but stability plays a crucial role. This finding has implications for the effectiveness of probiotic supplements in human gut microbiomes. Individuals with more stable guts may struggle to welcome beneficial probiotics. Future studies will further explore these dynamics and their relevance in wellness treatments.

MIT scientists scanned a larval zebrafish brain 200 times per second; ultraviolet light triggered electrical activity that spread across its brain

A groundbreaking microscope developed by MIT enables ultra-fast imaging of neuronal activity in zebrafish brains, achieving scans at an impressive 200 frames per second. Although only 25% of neurons have shown responses thus far, this represents a pivotal stride in neuroscience. Researchers aspire to leverage this technology for insights into neuron interactions within networks, potentially broadening its application to more sophisticated animal models in future investigations.
