This comprehensive and up-to-date book brings together leading authorities to cover the entire spectrum of instruments, techniques, standardized measures, and procedures used to diagnose and measure the psychological and physiological aftermath of trauma. Chapters review the research literature, discuss relevant conceptual issues, and provide practical guidelines for assessing PTSD and dissociative disorders in a wide range of clinical populations. Special topics covered include issues of gender, culture, and ethnicity in assessment; assessment of traumatized children and adult survivors of abuse; traumatic bereavements; and trauma?related disorders in medical settings.

"This sophisticated text admirably achieves its main purpose... The result is to provide an up?to?date evaluation of assessment approaches which will be invaluable in improving both services and research in relation to trauma." ? William Yule, PhD"This is the authoritative text on assessment of trauma and PTSD. It should enable investigators to rigorously operationalize just what they seek to measure, and to understand why one instrument might be better suited for this task than another." - Matthew J. Friedman, MD, PhD
