摘要
The present study represents an objective assessment of the growth in trauma literature, and of the thematic trends- which have been part of its historical evolution. For these purposes a systematic, manual search of Psychological Abstracts from 1970 to 1990 was conducted to identify literature on trauma-related topics. Fifteen hundred and ninety-six (1596) citations between 1970-1990 were identified, and a trend showing increasing numbers of trauma publications was in evidence. This increase was most apparent in literature involving war- and sexual abuse-related traumatization, but not in publications about natural and technological disaster. These findings reflect a dynamic and growing field, and will provide an important benchmark for assessing the changing status of the PTSD literature.
