Trauma research and clinical practice have taught us much about
the widespread problems of child maltreatment, partner violence,
and sexual assault. Numerous investigations have documented links
between such trauma exposure and long-term negative mental health
consequences. As we learn more about traumatic stress, however,
increasing attention has been drawn to the less studied physical
health effects of maltreatment and trauma.
Trauma and Physical Health describes both the negative physical
health effects of victimization in childhood as well as exploring
theoretical models that explains these links. By bringing together
new and current studies on the relationship between trauma and
physical health, this edited collection assesses the clinical
implications of these links. At a time when the mental health field
is becoming increasingly cognizant of the value of collaboration
with professionals in the physical health arena, this book suggests
ways in which clinicians can work with primary care professionals
to better meet the needs of trauma survivors across the lifespan. A
key focus of the text is to clarify the relationship between the
current knowledge base in trauma and physical health and directions
for future research in primary care health settings.
With contributors from a wide range of clinical and
psychological disciplines, it will be of interest to researchers,
clinicians and professionals in the trauma field and to primary
care professionals concerned with compassionate care for the
traumatized.
