Book excerpt: Contributions from 17 specialists based at hospitals and universities across the US summarize the findings on how extreme stressors such as war, sexual and other criminal victimization, natural and human-made disasters, and serious accidents affect physical health. The work outlines findings on trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder in relation to three domains: health status and disease, somatization, and utilization and costs.
