Dr. Newman's major area of work focuses upon assessing, understanding, and treating maladaptive responses to traumatic life events. In the past, this research has focused on developing a methods to measure trauma-related cognitive and affective themes, the assessment and nosology of complex PTSD, a longitudinal study of veterans, the development of a child interview for post-traumatic stress disorder, health outcomes and PTSD, and the role of PTSD in delinquency assessment and treatment. Most recently this work has focused on the intersection of journalism and traumatic stress studies including examining PTSD among journalists and victims responses to news coverage about them. In conducting research with trauma survivors, Dr. Newman became intrigued by assumptions about the cost-benefits of trauma-related research and has conducted research that focuses on participants' responses to research involvement, as well as a survey of opinions and prevalence of research risk among researchers. Finally, since Dr. Newman is committed to educating the public and professionals about the meaning, aftermath, and treatment of psychological trauma, she has engaged in scholarship translating psychological knowledge about trauma into other fields of research. Papers have examined topics such as developmental disabilities and trauma, ethical teaching about violence, and head injury and trauma.
