ESTSS and ISTSS: “heterozygous twins”
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of traumatic stress studies during the past decades has much profited from professionals from the United States and from Europe.

This is a personal retrospective view of Berthold Gersons, past president of ESTSS on behalf of the 20th anniversary of ESTSS.
