I was struck by the Gosch clinical example of the little boy who is afraid his father will get shot when he goes out in the evening to run errands. This was obviously written in a different time (though still one marked with guns), but following the past few weeks we've had, I want to talk more in class about how we address children's well-founded anxieties about gun violence, particularly given that a lot of the interventions we see in this reading are cognitively based and aimed at helping children have a more "realistic" view of what could happen. I fear/feel that now, what is more or less realistic IS to be worried about getting shot at school or in the community. I'm wondering if a helpful framework could come from clinically working in active crisis zones, or places with political strife.
