The Cameron Complex Trauma Interview Tool and Manual

An innovative, pictorial based instrument to aid clinicians in assessing for trauma history and related symptoms in children.  The use of the puppy character, Cameron, helps to engage vulnerable children in a developmentally appropriate way.

The CCTI is a comprehensive two-part semi-structured interview tool intended for use with children ages 5-11 with known history of exposure to traumatic events.

Part One:

Trauma History = 10 questions

Part Two:

Symptoms = 21 questions

The CCTI Manual contains scoring information and includes the recommended assessment-treatment flowchart.
