1. Defining Trauma and Its Relevance to Assessment and Evaluation
In this chapter, we introduce the important concepts to be expanded on in subsequent chapters. These include introductions to the topic, including definitions and epidemiology of trauma in North America, and couch the concepts of assessment and evaluation within a brief historical context of rehabilitation as a distinct healthcare profession.
2. Principles of Trauma- and Violence-Informed Care
This chapter introduces the concept of trauma-informed care from the perspective of rehabilitation professionals. This will include descriptions and operational definitions of best practice, including the value of a “universal precautions” approach to managing and mitigating re-traumatization.
3. Reflecting on Power and Trauma in Pain Assessment
This chapter will discuss pragmatic examples of tools and practices for self- and institutional reflection, identification of power imbalances, and ways to start the conversation around enacting more trauma-informed practices in your clinical context.
4. Reimagining a Trauma- and Violence-Informed Approach to Assessment and Evaluation of the Person in Pain
In this final chapter, we consider ways of conducting a trauma-informed assessment of the patient in pain using a “universal precautions” approach.
