Abstract:

Disabled veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) exist in a category separate from many civilians and soldiers. Their experiences land them in a category distinctly marked as atypical. The standard protocol to manage this atypical subject position is prescription drugs- a mark of the ill. In a distorted, post-war American society, what happens when veterans with PTSD refuse to be labeled as ‘sick,' ‘different,' or even ‘disabled'? This thesis explores the actions and intricacies of a community of veterans who advocate for medical cannabis to manage associated symptoms of PTSD. This

Abstract:

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University<br>Though recognized previously as “shell shock” or “combat neurosis” Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that was first introduced in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) in 1980. Diagnosis of PTSD requires the experience of a traumatic event followed by symptoms including avoidance, hyperarousal, re-experiencing, numbing and intense fear. The current treatment options include psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Brain stimulation is also emerging as an effective treatment option. The m

Abstract:

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a disorder characterized by an inability to extinguish traumatic memories and heightened reactivity to emotional stimuli. Due to the heightened resistance of traumatic memories to extinction, treatment for PTSD has been challenging and is limited to behavioral therapies targeted at reducing responsivity to threatening stimuli. Currently there are no standard pharmacological interventions that are specific to PTSD; rather, drugs used appear to target symptoms of some of the co-morbid conditions, such as anxiety (e.g. benzodiazepines) or depression (antidepressa

Comorbidity between substance use disorders and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common.

Abstract:

The role of exposure to a human-made disaster and the subsequent development of post-traumatic stress reactions were examined. Subjects included 49 males and 30 females who were variously exposed to the Luby's shooting incident in Killeen, Texas in October of 1991. Post-traumatic stress symptomatology was measured by the SCL-90R. Exposure was operationalized by using a scenario-rating scheme with independent raters estimating each subject's level of exposure. A regression and commonality analysis revealed that exposure is an important predictor in post-traumatic symptomatology. Premorbid funct

The term post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a relatively new diagnostic label, being formally recognized in 1980 in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Psychiatric Illness Third Edition (DSM-III) of the American Psychiatric Association (APA, 1980).

Thus, as research into effective treatments for CP is sparse, the treatment of CP is the topic of this study, in which a guideline-based treatment program developed by the res

Currently, AR approaches have not been systematically tested in individuals with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Abstract:

The world’s biggest forced migration is currently taking place. This population now makes up a considerable proportion of those accessing trauma services in the UK. Narrative exposure therapy (NET) is increasingly used with this population in services across the NHS. However, there are no studies reporting on its acceptability or how this group experiences this narrative and exposure-informed approach. Although the evidence base for the use of NET is promising, it remains symptom-reduction focused. This study sought to capture the accounts of seven forced migrants who had had NET for their PTS

Abstract:

In 2009, South African police statistics revealed that more than 68 332 women were raped in the country. The evidence from independent researchers has shown that SAPS statistics are highly susceptible to under-reporting and the actual figure is more than double this amount. One pervasive feature of the phenomenology of rape is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a highly debilitating condition with severe individual and societal costs. The condition takes a critical toll on occupational functioning, schooling and personal relationships and is associated with depression, suicide risk

Abstract:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a new clinical treatment shown to be effective for victims of trauma. EMDR is a time efficient, comprehensive methodology backed by positive, controlled research, for the treatment of disturbing experiences that underlie many pathologies. An eight phase treatment approach that includes using eye movements or other left-right stimulation, EMDR helps victims of trauma reprocess disturbing thoughts and memories. The purpose of this research project was to describe and explore the utilization of EMDR by licensed clinical social workers who we

Abstract:

Racial encounters can be direct, subtle, or ambiguous. They can occur on an interpersonal level or be the effect of systematic acts. Current and prospective African-American college students across the United States are constantly and consistently deprived of a quality education due to inadequate mental health care to address the horrific and insidious effects of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between race-based trauma and PTSD among African Americans and to explore stressors related to PTSD. Participants in the study were Afric

Abstract:

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo abordar el tema del abandono de la Terapia de Exposición Prolongada (TEP) en ex-combatientes de Guerra (Veteranos), uno de los tratamientos con mayor basamento empírico sobre su efectividad para el tratamiento del Trastorno de Estrés Posttraumático (TEPT). La TEP típicamente produce resultados positivos duraderos si se llega a completar. Como tal, la Administración de Salud de Veteranos (VHA por sus siglas en inglés) ha invertido recursos extensos en investigación y en clínicas para poner este tratamiento a disposición de los Veteranos bajo el cuidado de
