Treatment of victims of trauma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The psychiatric sequelae of trauma have been most often discussed in relation to disasters, both natural and man-made, and military conflict. This may sometimes lead psychiatrists to think of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other posttraumatic mental illnesses as being somewhat exotic and unusual in general psychiatric practice. In this paper, I propose that PTSD and related disorders are actually common psychiatric problems which require treatment.
