About ISTSS

The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies was founded in  1985 for professionals to share information about the effects of trauma.  ISTSS is dedicated to the discovery and dissemination of knowledge about  policy, program and service initiatives that seek to reduce traumatic  stressors and their immediate and long-term consequences.

ISTSS provides a forum for the sharing of research, clinical  strategies, public policy concerns and theoretical formulations on  trauma around the world. We are the premier society for the exchange of  professional knowledge and expertise in the field.

Members of ISTSS include psychiatrists, psychologists, social  workers, nurses, counselors, researchers, administrators, advocates,  journalists, clergy, and others with an interest in the study and  treatment of traumatic stress.

ISTSS members come from a variety of clinical and non-clinical  settings around the world, including public and private health  facilities, private practice, universities, non-university research  foundations and from many different cultural backgrounds.
