Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress 2011

Abstract

The Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS) was established in 1987 to address U. S. Department of Defense concerns around the psychological impact and health consequences resulting from the traumatic impact of: 1) the possibility, or actual use, of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) during combat, acts of terrorism or hostage events; 2) combat, peacemaking, peacekeeping, and operations other than war; 3) natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods; and, 4) more common stress producing events such as physical assaults and motor vehicle, shipboard, or airplane accidents in both the uniformed and civilian communities.
