Current models of psychological trauma provide complementary yet fragmented explanations of the mechanisms underlying anthropogenic trauma. This article proposes the Integrated Anthropogenic Trauma Framework (IATF), a dynamic conceptual model integrating cognitive, behavioral, existential, moral, and sociocultural processes within a unified multisystemic architecture. Drawing on contemporary trauma theories and empirical evidence derived from research conducted among survivors of terrorism in Algeria, the IATF conceptualizes chronic distress and recovery as emerging from interacting feedback loops across four functional systems. The framework advances theoretical integration, generates empirically testable hypotheses, and informs multidimensional trauma assessment and intervention.
