- Summary:
- This volume summarizes findings on trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in relation to three domains of outcomes: health status and disease, somatization, and utilization and cost. Contributors examine how trauma and PTSD could lead to poor physical health through correlates such as depression, hostility, and maladaptive coping and health behaviors. They also present findings on the biology of stress and implications for clinical and health policy. This volume provides a comprehensive summary of existing literature and a critical look at current empirical work. It will stimulate research and support clinical practice by providing clinicians with solid information that can inform their work with patients. The volume clearly shows that poor physical health should be recognized, along with mental health problems and impaired physical functioning, as an outcome of traumatic exposure.
