Abstract

A simple and powerful idea underlies this chapter as well as the volume as a whole. In essence it stipulates that good clinical practice must be guided by state-of-the-art knowledge concerning the topic of interest. Relevant sources of information may include: (1) psychosocial theory and associated empirical research; (2) prior clinical experience; (3) and personal life experiences. The remainder of the chapter provides an overview of available knowledge concerning the nature of traumatic stress. The material represents a synthesis of the aforementioned sources of information.
