  2. Rja Consulatancy “Complex Trauma” Relationship breakdown, with all its attendant traumas, is the single biggest precipitant to homelessness; and homelessness is itself traumatising But many homeless people in fact have histories of trauma going back much earlier, even into childhood. New evidence now suggests a strong link between such early trauma and conduct disorders in children; and later, behavioural and relationship problems that psychiatrist would describe as personality disorder. What, then could and should be the role of homelessness services, in recognising and in meeting such complex needs?
