Trauma – controversies surrounding the concept, diagnosis, aftermath, and practical implications

Summary/Abstract: The way of understanding trauma still remains a crucial issue in both theoretical and practical terms (in diagnosis and therapy). In this article, we discuss the controversies around the definition, the process of diagnosing, and the consequences of trauma. The subject of analysis is the current diagnostic criteria for trauma (the narrow and broad approaches to trauma), including those set out in the current classifications of mental disorders: ICD-10 and DSM-5. We discuss posttraumatic stress disorder syndromes as well as the impact of traumatic events on mental health and psychosocial functioning. The principles of support for people who have experienced trauma are also suggested.
