In the last 15 years, there has been an explosion of research in psychotraumatology contributing to a significant growth in the field. A similar expansion has occurred in the advances of Cross-Cultural Psychology and Psychiatry. Psychotraumatology has paid a significant amount of attention to evidence-based treatments and randomized controlled trials and has marginalized the cultural context of suffering (Mattar et al. 2010); consequently, the relationship between the role of culture and trauma research and treatment remains poorly understood. Considering the broad range and universality of traumatic experiences, what are then the dimensions of psychological trauma and what are the dimensions of cultural systems as they govern patterns of daily living? How do cultures create psychosocial mechanisms to assist its members who have suffered significant traumatic events? The special issue: “Trauma and culture. Implications for research and treatment” addresses the above questions and the need for critically integrating culture-competent studies and practices with psychotraumatology.
