What is it about?
Negative cognitions have long been known to play a part in the development of PTSD, but have only recently been officially acknowledged as PTSD symptoms.

In this paper we present the outcomes of the World Assumptions Scale in treatment-seeking refugees, and how these outcomes compare to outcomes in other traumatized and general populations.
