Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training. Vol 41(4), Win 2004, 363-373.

This introduction to the special issue of Psychotherapy on trauma considers the relevance of knowledge and skills in assessing and treating difficulties associated with trauma exposure to general clinical practice. Research findings on the prevalence in general clinical settings of trauma histories, trauma-related disorders and various other psychological disorders associated with trauma exposure, and physical health problems related to trauma are surveyed. It is argued, on the basis of diverse comorbid conditions associated with trauma exposure, that generalists with varied experience who obtain specialized trauma training are especially well equipped to develop competency in trauma practice.
