Psychotraumatology is the study of psychological trauma.^[1] Specifically, this discipline is involved with treating, preventing, and researching traumatic situations and people's reactions to them.^[1]^[2] It particularly focuses on the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder (ASD), but can be used to treat any adverse reactions a person may have after experiencing a traumatic event.

History

The emergence of psychotraumatology as a field begins with the legitimization of PTSD as a psychological disorder. Symptoms of PTSD have been continuously reported in the context of war since the 6th century B.C., but it was not officially recognized as a valid disorder until it finally classified by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1980.^[1] Once it was officially recognized as an issue, clinical research on PTSD increased dramatically, giving way to the field of psychotraumatology.^[1]

Factors examined by psychotraumatology
