Abstract
Experienced anomalous trauma (EAT) is seen in patients exhibiting Signs of stress-response traumata in the absence of a readily identifiable traumatic event despite cafeful investigation. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is frequent in these patients. Such persons are generally free of major psychopathology and may show physical and emotional traumatic sequelae. Prior to treatmet, mermorylike traces may or may not be present for scenarios which correlate with the psychological and physical stigmata of the stressful event. As will be discussed in this chapter, EAT may be seen in patients in any ethnic and/or deriiographic cohort. As noted elsewhere in this volume, PTSD was first described adequately in the context of battle fatigue (Kardiner, 1941), although it may present in a wide variety of clinical guises (van der Kolk, 1987).
