Summary/Abstract: To study psychological trauma is to face human injury both in the natural world and the evil capacity of human nature. The meaning of studying psychological trauma is to witness dreadful events. When events are natural disasters or "God's work", witnesses are ready to sympathize. But when the traumatic events are human, they are caught in a conflict between the victim and the perpetrator. It is not morally possible to remain neutral in this conflict. The audience is forced to take sides. In the situation between the victim and the perpetrator, the audience remains, but they are not aware of the fact. The perpetrator wants the audience to remain silent. The victim waits for the burial and the burden to be shared. The reactions that occur after trauma depend on many factors. Potentially traumatic events vary in terms of type and frequency, and their psychological effects are determined by the curricular and social variables. The reactions that occur after trauma depend on many factors. Potentially traumatic events vary in terms of type and frequency, and their psychological effects are determined by the curricular and social variables. Sometimes trauma causes itself, sometimes triggers. Therefore, it is not surprising that exposure to trauma is associated with a range of different symptoms and disorders. Psychological problems after trauma can be examined in two groups. First group; Acute Stress Response, Acute Stress Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and the second group is when the psychological trauma is necessary but not sufficient to cause the disorder. Psychological trauma is not necessary but is the trigger of trauma: Dissociative Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders (Depression, etc.), Somatization Disorders, Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders, Personality Disorders, Sexual Disorders, Eating disorders. In the context of DSM 5, re-diagnosis and treatment of these conditions have been investigated.
