Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed INTRODUCTION The treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has received a surge of interest recently with an increasing number of controlled pharmacologic trials. The most common treatments offered to trauma victims include psychotherapy, typically involving either behavioral techniques, cognitive approaches, crisis intervention, or psychodynamically orientated approaches; and group therapy including mutual self-help groups, and family therapy. These approaches have been used on a variety of trauma populations such as victims of combat, terrorism, rape, child abuse, accidents, and disasters. The role of pharmacotherapy in PTSD is more of as adjunctive therapy to alleviate depressive and anxiety symptoms in addition to serving a facilitative effect for psychotherapy. POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Recent research suggests that patients experiencing forms of trauma such as disaster, rape, or combat all have similar psychopathology (Solomon et al 1992). These patients not only show profiles consistent with PTSD, but often show symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, and Substance Abuse. Risk Factors for PTSD include lower socio-economic support, unstable family life, neurological soft signs (nonspecific behavioral indicators), preexisting mood or anxiety disorders, as well as a family history of psychological disorders.
