Journal

Division 56 publishes its own scholarly journal, Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, which focuses on enhancing trauma psychology scholarship. Members are encouraged to submit articles that further the field's understanding of how trauma affects the lives of those who experience the events, as well as the individuals who seek to help alleviate the negative emotional consequences.
