### **Overview** The **Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ)** is a self-report inventory designed to assess an individual's history of childhood abuse and neglect. It covers five key areas of trauma: emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect. The CTQ provides a retrospective evaluation of the individual's experiences during childhood and adolescence. ### **Applications** The CTQ is widely used in both clinical and research settings to identify and measure the long-term impact of childhood trauma on mental health. It helps clinicians understand the role of early traumatic experiences in the development of psychological disorders, guiding treatment and intervention strategies for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). #Psychological-Test
