National Center for PTSD Clinical Quarterly

The NCP Clinical Quarterly is published by the Clinical Laboratory and Education Division of the National Center for PTSD. It is addressed to the needs of practicing PTSD clinicians and program administrators, providing them with an overview of the major clinical, theoretical, and programmatic developments in the field.

Most issues have a thematic focus, bringing together several short articles on one particular aspect of traumatic stress for clinicians and administrators. Although the emphasis is on the treatment of veterans, much of the Clinical Quarterly's content is applicable to work with non-veterans as well.

In addition to articles of relevance to clinicians, two featured columns are included in each Clinical Quarterly issue:

  • "New Directions" offers commentary by the Executive Director of the NCPTSD on cutting-edge issues for clinicians in the field of traumatic stress.
  • "Woman and Trauma: A Clinical Forum" discusses issues, innovations, and the work of key clinicians with female trauma survivors.
