title: The effects of childhood trauma upon adult recovery from injury and illness.
abstract: Many patients with chronic injury or illness suffer from childhood trauma syndrome. As a result, they do not take proper care of themselves and are at risk of developing long-term disabilities. Physicians who understand the dynamics of CTS can help these patients regain control over their own bodies and health. By building therapeutic relationships with these patients, physicians can restore trust and help them lead happier, healthier lives.
