Traumatology focuses on the psychological impact of trauma, particularly interpersonal trauma and sexual assault. Research examines dissociative symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depressive disorder, exploring underlying mechanisms such as anxiety sensitivity, emotional avoidance, and emotion dysregulation. The journal also investigates the experiences of specific populations, including male sexual assault survivors and African American women survivors of sexual assault, considering factors like self-blame, masculinity, and social support in relation to mental health outcomes and recovery.
