In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Frank Putnam, Professor of Psychiatry at UNC School of Medicine, about childhood trauma, focusing on the Female Growth and Development Study, a 35-year longitudinal, cross-sequential study of girls ages 6–15 with CPS-substantiated intrafamilial sexual abuse and a matched comparison group, followed across three generations with repeated psychological, medical, and biological assessments. Putnam describes how his early work on rapid shifts in mental state and dissociation led to studying abused children prospectively.Time  Topic 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:51 Frank Putnam Intro 02:14 Path Into Trauma Research 05:51 Female Growth Study Overview 09:20 Key Findings and Aging 11:39 How Trauma Speeds Aging 14:41 Real World Impacts for Girls 17:19 Intergenerational Risk Cycles 21:51 What Builds Resilience 23:36 Roadblocks and Funding Fights 26:28 Fixing Child Protection Systems 29:38 NCTSN Origins and Impact 33:16 Policy Priorities and Validation 38:01 Closing Thoughts and Thanks 41:15 Podcast Outro ResourcesClinician, Researcher, Advocate and Author - Frank W.
