Trauma is defined as a sudden, potentially deadly experience, often leaving lasting, troubling memories. Traumatology (the study of trauma, its effects, and methods to modify effects) is exploding in terms of published works and expanding in terms of scope. This encyclopedia provides an up-to-date reference for the field, and includes understanding of the consequences of trauma for communities and organisations as well as individuals.
