Many reports have documented the relationship between previous traumatic experiences, including childhood trauma, and the development of later life psychopathology, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Identification of individuals at greatest risk for the development of PTSD could lead to preventative interventions. The present study examined the developmental course of PTSD after trauma exposure, using histories of previous traumatic experiences and the severity of the reaction to the trauma as predictors.

先前与创伤相关的经历可预测新的创伤事件后创伤后应激障碍的发展。

许多报告记录了以前的创伤经历（包括童年创伤）与晚年精神病理学的发展（包括创伤后应激障碍（PTSD））之间的关系。识别最有可能发展为 PTSD 的个体可能会导致预防性干预。本研究使用先前创伤经历的历史和对创伤反应的严重程度作为预测指标，检查了创伤暴露后 PTSD 的发展过程。
