The Impact of the Earthquake on Child and Adolescent Psychology

Abstract

Trauma is an emotional response to natural disasters, psychological, physical or sexual abuse, accidents. As a result of this response, some symptoms are revealed in a person's physical and psychological state.
One of the most common causes of trauma is natural disasters (Bulut 2009).
Experiencing a disaster directly or indirectly (watching it on TV, hearing from someone, etc.) can create trauma in a person. Behaviors after trauma are different. The first and most typical reaction to a disaster is to go into shock.
