Abstract: Purpose: To examine the factorial structure of the Thai version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire by an Exploratory Factor Analysis among Thai psychiatric patients. Design: A methodological research design. Method: The sample consisted of 182 psychiatric inpatients aged 18–59 years who were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders according to the ICD-10 criteria. All participants exhibited violent behavior as a chief complaint requiring emergency psychiatric services and were admitted for inpatient treatment for at least two weeks. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Thai version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis, along with assessments of content validity, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), and construct validity via exploratory factor analysis. Main findings: The scale-level content validity index was .93, and Cronbach’s alpha for the 25-items Thai CTQ was .92. EFA using varimax rotation yielded a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of .87 and a statistically significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity (p < .001). Five factors were extracted, explaining 70.3% of the total variance, with factor loadings ranging from .45 to .89. Conclusion and recommendations: The Thai version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire demonstrates acceptable validity and reliability. It is appropriate for use in assessing childhood trauma experiences among Thai psychiatric patients.
