CTQ: Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Complete Kit

The Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) is an instrument designed for the assessment of childhood abuse and neglect in adolescents and adults. It helps clinicians and researchers identify a history of traumatic experiences, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as neglect, which may influence current mental health and behavior. This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates reliable screening and allows them to understand the severity and impact of traumatic childhood conditions, aiding in targeted intervention and treatment planning.

The accompanying interpretative guidelines help identify three levels of severity—low, moderate, and severe—and include a minimization/denial scale to detect potential underreporting of traumatic events.
