Abstract

After a century-long detour, psychiatry is finding its way back to a vision of psychiatric dysfunction as originating in normal reactions to abnormal stress (Van der Kolk, 1987; Van der Kolk et al, 1989). The study of psychological trauma and its effects as the major factor in the origin of a significant amount of psychiatric illness is creating a paradigm shift with profound consequences to the treatment of the mentally ill and to society at large.
