Abstract:

Mental contamination (i.e., feelings of dirtiness in the absence of contact with a contaminant) is a potentially important yet understudied factor in posttraumatic psychopathology, particularly for survivors of sexual trauma. Mental contamination has been linked to PTSD symptom severity, negative affect, and coping cross-sectionally and in lab-based paradigms, but research has yet to assess these relationships in ecological contexts. The present study extends previous cross-sectional findings by modelling relationships between mental contamination and posttraumatic psychopathology, emotions, a

Abstract:

Anxiety disorders (ADs) and stress-related disorders are some of the most common psychiatric disorders in the United States. Like other c0mplex psychiatric illness, genetics and neuroimaging research has focused on understanding their underlying neurobiology. Areas within the fear-network play important roles in threat perception, fear conditioning/learning, cognitive processing, and modulation of fear responses including contextual modulation and extinction and have been implicated in ADs as well as stress disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Childhood exposure to familial violence increases risk for adult pathology, namely posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Primary PTSD symptoms of hyperarousal and avoidance are implicated in overgeneral memory (OGM) theory in prior research. Individuals with trauma history tend to report OGMs, or non-specific autobiographical memories, perhaps to avoid unpleasant arousal elicited by recalling specific events.

Abstract:

Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) represent one of the longest wartime deployments in the history of the American military. To date, 1.6 million American military members have deployed. Of these, an estimated 300,000 have returned with a mental health condition, such as depression or PTSD. The Department of Defense has established a robust screening program to identify and track deployment-related physical and psychiatric illnesses. The Post-Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA) is a primary tool to identify physical and psychiatric risk follo

Abstract:

<p>Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common, chronic, and associated with greater risk of postoperative mortality in veterans. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to determine if elective outpatient surgery had a persistent and deleterious effect on the physical or mental health of veterans, and also to explore factors that contributed to postoperative health change in this population. A longitudinal, mixed method, quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group study was conducted. Physical and mental health, depressive symptom severity, posttraumatic symptom severity, an

Abstract:

There is an increase in the prevalence of physical symptoms in military veterans who have deployed to combat zones compared to those who have not been deployed. These symptoms can be distressing, disabling, and negatively impact quality of life. Current paradigms regarding the effects of traumatic deployment exposures on military personnel tend to consider non-specific physical symptoms (that are not due to injury) as simply a comorbidity of psychological disorder following trauma, rather than independent sequelae. For example, the diagnostic criteria for a condition specifically caused by tra

Abstract:

The present study was conducted to help understand the impact of living with multiple sclerosis (MS), an unpredictable, chronic illness that is widely known to have a large influence on psychosocial functioning, mental health, and life satisfaction (Motl & Gosney, 2007; Weiner, 2004). Recent research has begun to position certain chronic illnesses, such as MS, as traumatic events that influence mental health in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Thus, the present study investigated the positive and negative consequences of centralizing one’s identity within their MS experiences as related t

Abstract:

Introduction: This thesis examined the impact of PTSD with Major Depressive Disorder on PTSD severity among Toronto Transit Commission employees who were exposed to a workplace traumatic event, and also the predictors of PTSD severity, mental health treatment seeking, and return to work over the six month study period. Methods: This study utilized data that was collected prospectively from the APT study participants. Information about Axis-I diagnosis and PTSD severity were collected from the SCID-I and the Modified PTSD Symptom Scale respectively. Results: PTSD without MDD (N=29) and PTSD

They may be precluded from reaching their potential jf we do not urgently address the problems brought about by violence. Highly evident is the increased incidence of PTSD within the violence stricken communities in South Africa. PTSD among black youths is so high that it can be described as an epidemic. Due to the limited therapeutic resources available, it is imperative that a programme ofaction aimed atreducing the n

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are a common comorbidity in veterans seeking treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). However, little is known regarding the mutual influence of PTSD and CMP in this population. Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a randomized clinical trial evaluating a stepped care intervention for CMP in Iraq/Afghanistan veterans (ESCAPE), this dissertation examined the relationships between PTSD and CMP along with other factors including depression, anxiety, catastrophizing an

Abstract:

Considerable empirical work has investigated theoretically-driven predictions about the distinctive nature of intrusive memory (IM) phenomena in PTSD. Recently, there has been increasing recognition that intrusive remembering may also play an important role in depression. The accompanying findings have been interpreted as indicating that IMs in depression and PTSD exhibit a large degree of overlap. However, much of the IM research in depression to date has been limited by a range of methodological issues (Brewin, Gregory, Lipton, & Burgess, 2010; Newby & Moulds, 2011). This dissertation attem
