Abstract
The clinical psychotrauma is unknown in the field of psychiatry although it infiltrates all fields. Probably because its symptomatic presentation is hidden, multiple, remote and away from the original trauma. The proliferation of trauma and violence both individually (assaults, accidents) and in mass (wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters) associated with a growing media coverage has enabled a focus on recognition and medical and psychological care to prevent. Psychopathological theories have evolved from a neurological design then with psychological traumatic neurosis to return to an approach based on the neurobiology model of stress with post-traumatic stress disorder, which made its debut in the DSM-III (1980). The diagnosis is difficult and depressive comorbidity, addictive, psycho-somatic are major mode of seeking care for psycho-trauma patients. Transcultural position blurs the clinical presentations and is a source of diagnostic errors that DSM has tried to reduce with the introduction of cultural formulation guide (GFC) in the DSM-IV completed in the DSM-5 through the cultural formulation interview (IFC). The purpose, besides diagnostic, is to improve the therapeutic alliance and adherence to care.
