Some teachers victimized by violence may have post-traumatic stress disorder

From The Chicago Tribune: Police records show that reports of violent attacks against teachers and school staff have risen sharply in Illinois over the past decade. As doctors and psychologists work to return these assault victims to the classrooms, there is growing acceptance that they may suffer more than physical injuries. Some teachers who have been assaulted by students have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, an affliction more commonly associated with emergency responders and soldiers returning from battle.
