Reaction – What was the community’s reaction to the event? Or, did you see strong reactions in individuals?

Source – What was the source of that reaction? Why was it so difficult?

Implications – What did this mean for the individual or the community?

Discussion: Working With Children And Adolescents Versus Adults

Discussion: Working With Children And Adolescents Versus Adults

Infant, childhood, and adolescent development are a continual interplay between nature (genetic or biologic predisposition) and nurture (environmental experiences). The nature/nurture continuum and debate will always be a part of your career as a PMHNP.  Knowing common developmental milestone is important in the role as a child provider. Not only is it essential to the diagnostic process, but it is also important to the interdisciplinary interactions with other mental health professionals. The study of normal developmental processes, however, is only one tool that allows the mental health professional to understand the child being evaluated. There are many different assessment instruments and interviewing techniques that PMHNPs can have in their toolkit when working with children and adolescents.
