Trauma

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the successful treatment of trauma begins with close exploration of the nature of trauma including its symptomology and pathology as well as examination of its psychiatric impact on patients. The paper also explains that the the effects of trauma are highly individualistic and that the treatment of people affected by trauma should also, therefore, be individualistic.

From the Paper:

"The analysis of trauma is complex at best. To understand trauma one must first examine the prevalence of trauma and its impact on society. Research suggests that a majority of individuals will experience some form of trauma at one point or another during their lives (Holman, 2000:808). Trauma by its nature is a stressful event that often presents differently depending on an individual's unique coping mechanisms. To a large degree it is not certain how exactly patients will respond to trauma."
