Very little attention has been paid by researchers to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the paediatric population. Not until 1987 the fact that child reaction to trauma may differ from adult reaction is reflected in diagnostic criteria. Bearing these differences in mind with regard to the PTSD semiology, we may think that planning of assessment and intervention must differ in the case of children. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to follow the evolution of literature during the last 10 years, and to establish the current state of the art of PTSD in children. Deficiencies and needs will be remarked in order to develop future research lines.
