Understanding Re-traumatisation Survey
Re-traumatisation
Re-traumatisation is a core concept in psychotherapy and related contexts—it is commonplace in everyday work discussions and specialist literature; and minimising re-traumatisation motivates the development of new practices. Unusually for such an established and well-used term, it has evaded consensus definition in specialist literature, and there is no agreed operational definition. The term ‘re-traumatisation’ does not appear in DSM-V. However, there appears to be widespread tacit understanding of the term, and a widespread recognitional capacity in the psychotherapeutic field (i.e. clinicians talk about it and can tell when it is happening). An important part of advancing our therapeutic understanding of re-traumatisation will involve getting a clear picture of the everyday senses in which the term is currently used by clinicians.
The Survey and the Project
In order to track the intuitions of clinicians working with trauma-recovery clients (and those who work in in related fields), researchers at the University of York in association with the Complex Trauma Therapists’ Network, UK (CTTN) have produced an survey that will collect anonymous data about clinicians’ views. (Clinicians do not need to be trauma specialists to participate.) The survey was launched on 25th July 2019.
This research is part of a larger collaboration between the University of York and the Complex Trauma Therapists’ Network, UK (CTTN). The Principal Investigator is Professor Tom Stoneham; Dzmitry Karpuk is the External Partner; Dr Louise Moody, and Dr R A Davies are researchers on the project. A primary aim of the project is to advance the therapeutic understanding and treatment of sleep disturbances, and the collaboration has multiple strands of activity, including CPD training and original research. This strand of activity focuses on the concept of re-traumatisation. The project’s research into re-traumatisation is funded by the Research Champions Culture and Communication Research Priming Fund at the University of York.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Dr Davies at [email protected]
We invite you (whatever your degree of experience and involvement with trauma) to participate in this research.
