Cross-Cultural Assessment of Psychological Trauma and PTSD (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

The field of traumatology has grown exponentially over the past 25 years and has witnessed the proliferation of a broad range of research concerning the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and other forms of psychological injury following trauma. With the prevalence of worldwide traumatic events, such as the tsunami in Asia in 2004; ongoing terrorism in Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and other countries; and the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, there is a need for global standardization in methods, procedures, and techniques of the scientific assessment of PTSD and psychological injuries. The Cross-Cultural Assessment of Psychological Trauma and PTSD is a helpful reference given the increasing importance of globalization and multi-cultural research efforts pertaining to trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders, psychiatric disorders, and truma's effects on children and families.
