Psychotraumatology is the study of psychological trauma.[1] Specifically, this discipline is involved with researching, preventing, and treating traumatic situations and people's reactions to them.[1][2] It focuses on the study and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder (ASD), but encompasses any adverse reaction after experiencing traumatic events, including dissociative disorders. Since 2021, Certified Trauma Professionals who have achieved a major level of training and clinical expertise can use the abbreviation PsyT[3] after their names as a standard of recognition in the trauma field.[4]
