Слайд 5
Trauma, including one-time, multiple, or long-lasting repetitive events, affects everyone
differently. Some individuals may clearly display criteria associated with posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), but many more individuals will exhibit resilient responses or brief subclinical symptoms or consequences that fall outside of diagnostic criteria. The impact of trauma can be subtle, insidious, or outright destructive. How an event affects an individual depends on many factors, including characteristics of the individual, the type and characteristics of the event(s), developmental processes, the meaning of the trauma, and sociocultural factors.
Слайд 7Types of Truama
There are three main types of trauma are acute, chronic,
or complex.
Acute trauma results from a single incident.
Chronic trauma is repeated and prolonged such
as domestic violence or abuse.
Complex trauma is exposure to varied and multiple traumatic events, often of an invasive, interpersonal nature.

Depending on the factors that determine the trauma, there are
two main categories:
Physical trauma - natural factors, independent of man (for
example a car accident or the collapse of a building over people inside, during an earthquake)
mental trauma - caused by factors related to man, but not only.
