ABSTRACT
To effectively meet the needs of individuals with DTD, we must develop an understanding of the broad range of medical problems linked to early trauma. Individuals with DTD may present with complex patterns of stress-mediated medical illnesses, such as somatic disturbances, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and eating disorders. In this chapter, I describe integrative health approaches to assessment and treatment as they relate to developmental trauma, and I provide details about recommended interventions.
