Notes:	Presents what has been learned in the past two decades of research into violence and trauma, summarises advances made in the research methodologies used and outlines the research priorities for the future. Discusses research that refutes the previously-held idea that family and interpersonal violence is uncommon, as well as studies that show that interpersonal violence is not random and that those subjected to one form of abuse are then more likely to experience other forms of abuse. Describes advances in methodological research resulting in the refinement of multivariate data-analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) and cluster analysis have each been useful to the increased understanding of survivors’ reactions to trauma, and the latter especially is valuable from the perspective of treatment improvement. Suggests that future research priorities include the development of comprehensive models that function from within an ecological perspective and which may be tested observationally using multivariate, multilevel modelling techniques. Such models would embrace the individual as well as the family context and the contributory ethnic, cultural and social forces.
