摘要：In the Netherlands, there seems to be a relatively large interest in traumatic stress and its consequences. A literature search for publications in the field of psychotrauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Web of Science shows that authors from the Netherlands are among the top seven in the world. Most research comes from the USA, and within Europe with the UK and Germany also being very active. Broadening the search terms does not change the patterns substantially. Correcting for the number of inhabitants as a proxy for the size of academic output, the Netherlands end up on second place, after Israel and shortly followed by Switzerland, Croatia, Norway and Australia. These are all countries with rather different backgrounds that ask for further analyses of the underlying reasons for their interest in the field.(Published: 2 April 2013)Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology 2013, 4: 20873 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ejpt.v4i0.20873This paper is part of the thematic cluster Psychotrauma research in the Netherlands - more papers from this cluster can be found here.
