%X This paper describes the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Trauma Recovery and Resiliency Scale (MTRR), a Likert-type questionnaire designed to assess trauma impact, recovery and resilience on each of eight domains of psychological functioning (Harvey, 1996). An initial series of four studies examined the psychometric properties of the MTRR when used by clinicians rating their patients or by clinical researchers rating co-conducted standardized clinical interviews (MTRR-Is). Findings indicate that the MTRR demonstrated reasonable inter-rater reliability with both clinical and clinical research samples. Internal consistency was sound and, in the clinical sample, the measure drew significant distinctions between patients differing in clinician-estimated recovery status. The implications and limitations of these preliminary findings are discussed. Current and planned inquiries are described.<p />
