To support the effort to bring the most current research on PTSD to professionals in the health care fields, staff at the National Center publish many articles and chapters. To search this extensive library of documents online, you can use the PILOTS database, Published International Literature on Traumatic Stress, the largest electronic index to the worldwide literature on PTSD and trauma in the world.

The majority of these manuscripts are posted here as PDFs so that you can easily download them. We wish to make sure that NCPTSD articles and chapters that are in the public domain are easily accessible to you. A link to the full PDF is available from the PILOTS database so you can search and find the information you want. For a complete list of articles on trauma and PTSD in the worldwide literature
