Abstract

This paper provides an overview of recent advances in the study of traumatic stress, with a special focus on the categorical and conceptual evolution in aetiological, diagnostic classification of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A review update on psychological and pharmacological therapies relevant to the management of PTSD, and the trend towards a multi-layered, biopsychosocial approach is discussed. This review also includes an update of the risk factors and mediating factors associated with post traumatic responses.
