The Church As A Part Of A Multifaceted Approach To Healing Ptsd.Pdf, Sue Dewan

Sue Dewan

Trauma comes in many forms, and may occur at any time throughout life in both domestic and 
wartime circumstances.  However, trauma always results from events that have negative 
consequences in an individual's life.  Some trauma results in posttraumatic stress disorder 
(PTSD), depending on the intensity, chronicity, and possible repetition of the event.   PTSD is 
associated with significant loss of quality of life, causing multiple physical, emotional, cognitive, 
interpersonal and spiritual symptoms. While there are risk and protective factors associated with 
PTSD, researchers have not identified any certain method of predicting those who will be 
affected.  There are psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and …

Gpietropaolo.Finalthesis.Pdf, Gabriella Pietropaolo

Gabriella Pietropaolo

This study examined the effectiveness of a future-oriented writing therapy (FOWT) intervention in eliciting posttraumatic growth (PTG) for those who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, who have experienced sexual orientation-based bullying. It was expected that PTG would be enhanced—and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms would be reduced—in individuals who engaged in FOWT, and that these effects would be significantly greater than effects seen for neutral writing group counterparts. A total of 6 participants completed the study in its entirety (8 participants dropped out of the study before completing posttest measures, and were therefore excluded from analyses). Participants were recruited …

Secondary 7 Lifestyle Effects Screening, Scott E. Hall, Michelle Flaum Hall Dec 2016

Secondary 7 Lifestyle Effects Screening, Scott E. Hall, Michelle Flaum Hall

Scott E. Hall, Ph.D., LPCC-S

The S7-LES assesses the presence of negative or maladaptive responses (secondary crises) to medical events, illnesses, and procedures in relation to seven life domains.  The tool is a self-administered checklist that can be completed by patients in a provider’s office after a medical procedure, hospital admission, life-threatening diagnosis, or any other circumstances deemed appropriate by providers.
The S7-LES can be used as a screening tool to detect areas in which patients struggle and to help determine when a referral to a mental health professional may be necessary. It is important that you consider any “yes” response to indicate that follow-up …

Medical Mental Health Screening, Michelle Flaum Hall, Scott E. Hall Dec 2016

Medical Mental Health Screening, Michelle Flaum Hall, Scott E. Hall

Scott E. Hall, Ph.D., LPCC-S

The Medical Mental Health Screening tool assesses risk factors that can contribute to adverse psychological responses (specifically, traumatic stress responses) to medical events, illnesses, and procedures. It is a pre-screening tool and should be used as a means of flagging risk factors and intervening appropriately in order to prevent or minimize adverse emotional reactions to medical care.
The tool is a self-administered checklist that can be completed by patients during pre-admission to the hospital for a scheduled procedure, in a provider’s office prior to hospital admission, or in other circumstances deemed appropriate by clinicians.

Notes On The Practice Of Food Justice In The U.S.: Understanding And Confronting Trauma And Inequity, K. Valentine Cadieux, Rachel Slocum Mar 2016

Notes On The Practice Of Food Justice In The U.S.: Understanding And Confronting Trauma And Inequity, K. Valentine Cadieux, Rachel Slocum

K. Valentine Cadieux

In this article, we focus on one of the four nodes (trauma/inequity, exchange, land and labor) around which food justice organizing appears to occur: acknowledging and confronting historical, collective trauma and persistent race, gender, and class inequality. We apply what we have learned from our research in U.S. and Canadian agri-food systems to suggest working methods that might guide practitioners as they work toward food justice, and scholars as they seek to study it. In the interests of ensuring accountability to socially just research and action, we suggest that scholars and practitioners need to be more clear on what it …

Superman Needs You, Kirby Farrell Aug 2015

Superman Needs You, Kirby Farrell

kirby farrell

A powerful leader in politics, business, or closer to home has “magnetism.” But leaders depend on followers, who follow because it’s rewarding. Consider the attention commanded by Donald Trump or even Adolf Hitler. Lives depend on it. Both figures use scripts centered on elimination of scapegoats as a technique of converting flight to fight emergency physiology in followers. Close attention can demytify euphemized homicidal ideation.

Evaluation Of A Trauma-Informed Teaching Intervention On The Educational Well-Being Of Youth In Residential Care, Angelique G. Day Jan 2015

Evaluation Of A Trauma-Informed Teaching Intervention On The Educational Well-Being Of Youth In Residential Care, Angelique G. Day

Angelique G Day

In response to the high nationwide prevalence of psychological trauma among court-involved youth who have been exposed to abuse and neglect and the associated far-reaching adverse consequences, there are calls to develop a trauma-informed workforce across the various systems (child welfare, juvenile justice, mental health and education) designed to serve these traumatized young persons. We describe a pilot test of a modified version of the Heart of Teaching and Learning (HTL) curriculum, an intervention designed to increase trauma-informed practices in education settings. This program was implemented in a public charter school that exclusively serves court-involved youth placed in residential treatment. …

The Journey From Tragedy To Hope: The Experience Of Christian Undergraduates, David M. Johnstone Aug 2014

The Journey From Tragedy To Hope: The Experience Of Christian Undergraduates, David M. Johnstone

David M. Johnstone

Using the case study approach, I interviewed seven student leaders at an evangelical university in the Pacific Northwest. Their common feature, other than attending the same institution, was that they had all experienced tragic or traumatic situations at some point in their lives. In spite of this experience, they were able to display a hopeful outlook on life. The purpose of this study was to discern elements or themes that were common to their stories. I was particularly looking for themes that might explain what helped them move on from their traumatic experiences into a perspective of hope. I anticipated …

Trauma, Adversity, And Parent-Child Relationships Among Young Children Experiencing Homelessness, Janette E. Herbers, J. J. Cutuli, Amy R. Monn, Angela J. Narayan, Ann S. Masten Dec 2013

Trauma, Adversity, And Parent-Child Relationships Among Young Children Experiencing Homelessness, Janette E. Herbers, J. J. Cutuli, Amy R. Monn, Angela J. Narayan, Ann S. Masten

J. J. Cutuli

This study examined experiences of adversity and potentially traumatic life events among 138 young children (56% female) residing with their families in emergency housing. Experiences of these children were examined from a developmental perspective, testing the impact of cumulative adversity on trauma symptoms, other emotional/behavior problems, and executive functioning in relation to the quality of observed parent-child interactions. Cumulative adversity was related to children’s trauma symptoms and total problem scores. Quality of observed parent-child interactions related to fewer child symptoms, congruent with a promotive role. Quality of parent-child interactions also moderated the associations between adversity and both specific trauma symptoms …

When Treatment Becomes Trauma: Defining, Preventing, And Transforming Medical Trauma, Michelle Flaum Hall, Scott E. Hall Mar 2013

When Treatment Becomes Trauma: Defining, Preventing, And Transforming Medical Trauma, Michelle Flaum Hall, Scott E. Hall

Scott E. Hall, Ph.D., LPCC-S

Medical trauma, while not a common term in the lexicon of the health professions, is a phenomenon that deserves the attention of mental and physical healthcare providers. Trauma experienced as a result of medical procedures, illnesses, and hospital stays can have lasting effects. Those who experience medical trauma can develop clinically significant reactions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, complicated grief, and somatic complaints. In addition to clinical disorders, secondary crises—including developmental, physical, existential, relational, occupational, spiritual, and of self—can lead people to seek counseling for ongoing support, growth, and healing. While counselors are central in treating the aftereffects of medical …

Dissociation Mediates The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma And Hallucination-Proneness., F Varese, E Barkus, R P. Bentall Oct 2012

Dissociation Mediates The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma And Hallucination-Proneness., F Varese, E Barkus, R P. Bentall

Emma Barkus

BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that the relationship between childhood trauma and hallucinations can be explained by dissociative processes. The present study examined whether the effect of childhood trauma on hallucination-proneness is mediated by dissociative tendencies. In addition, the influence of dissociative symptoms on a cognitive process believed to underlie hallucinatory experiences (i.e. reality discrimination; the capacity to discriminate between internal and external cognitive events) was also investigated.MethodPatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (n=45) and healthy controls (with no history of hallucinations; n=20) completed questionnaire measures of hallucination-proneness, dissociative tendencies and childhood trauma, as well as performing an auditory signal detection …

Woolfork Review Jaes.Doc, Kirby Farrell Dec 2011

Woolfork Review Jaes.Doc, Kirby Farrell

kirby farrell

This is a review of Lisa Woolfork's interestingly misguided attempt to use trauma to investigate and affirm African-American identities. The fallacies in the book are so topical and popular that the review, IMO, is a healthy corrective. The review first appeared in the Journal of American ethnic studies 31(4):88-90 · June 2012. A more detailed treatment of the critique is in the Introduction and the 1990s half of my Post-Traumatic Culture (Johns Hopkins, 1998).

Future Orientation Of Adolescents In Foster Care: Relationship To Trauma, Mental Health, And Hiv Risk Behaviors, Peter Cabrera, Wendy Auslander, Michael Polgar Jan 2009

Future Orientation Of Adolescents In Foster Care: Relationship To Trauma, Mental Health, And Hiv Risk Behaviors, Peter Cabrera, Wendy Auslander, Michael Polgar

Elián P. Cabrera-Nguyen

Future orientation has been found to protect against risk behaviors in adolescents from diverse backgrounds. However, no studies have specifically examined future orientation as a potential protective factor against HIV risk behaviors in foster care adolescents. In this study, 343 foster care adolescents were interviewed about their future orientation, mental health, trauma histories, and cognitions related to HIV risk behaviors. Results indicated variability in future orientation, but there were no significant differences by race, gender, and age. Future orientation was significantly associated with mental health, trauma, HIV-related knowledge, attitudes, behavioral intentions, and number of sexual intercourse partners. Furthermore, externalizing behaviors …

Popular Self-Help Books For Anxiety, Depression, And Trauma: How Scientifically Grounded And Useful Are They?, Richard Redding, Evan Forman, Brandon Gaudiano, James Herbert Jan 2008

Popular Self-Help Books For Anxiety, Depression, And Trauma: How Scientifically Grounded And Useful Are They?, Richard Redding, Evan Forman, Brandon Gaudiano, James Herbert

Richard E. Redding

Self-help books for psychological disorders have become increasingly popular, yet there is surprisingly little research on their scientific status or overall utility. The authors identified 50 top-selling self-help books for anxiety, depressive, and trauma-related disorders. Using a scale derived from the literature on bibliotherapy, expert psychologists rated each book on overall usefulness, grounding in psychological science, the extent to which it offers reasonable expectations, the extent to which it offers specific guidance for implementing the self-help techniques and for monitoring treatment progress, and whether it offers potentially harmful advice. The results revealed strong intercorrelations among the scales, such that books …

The Traumatic Nature Of Disclosure For Wives Of Sexual Addicts.Pdf, Barbara Steffens Dec 2005

The Traumatic Nature Of Disclosure For Wives Of Sexual Addicts.Pdf, Barbara Steffens

Barbara Steffens

Wives of sexual addicts experience distressing symptoms in response to the disclosure of their husbands' compulsive sexual behaviors and often describe the disclosure event as traumatic. The results of this study suggest that a majority of wives of sexual addicts respond to disclosure with significant trauma-related distress. The data also reveal that years married at the time of disclosure and number of previous traumatic event exposures best predicted total trauma symptom severity scores. The study concluded with a discussion of the benefits of using a trauma model to understand and treat wives of sexual addicts following disclosure.

Rhode Island Take Back The Night, Donna M. Hughes Dr.

Donna M. Hughes

It is an honor for me to be here for the 27th Annual Take Back the Night March. Women uniting to take back the night in marches have symbolized women’s resistance to sexual violence and their declaration of freedom and dignity for decades. “Speaking out” against violence is the way we break the conspiracies of silence that the perpetrators try to impose on us.

Neural Correlates Of Memories Of Abandonment In Women With And Without Borderline Personality Disorder, Christian G. Schmahl, Bernet M. Elzinga, Eric Vermetten, Charles A. Sanislow, Thomas H. Mcglashan, J. Douglas Bremner

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

BACKGROUND: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common psychiatric disorder that is often linked to early stressors. One particularly salient feature of the disorder is fear of abandonment. This pilot study was conducted to measure neural correlates of memories of abandonment in women with and without BPD.

METHODS: Twenty women with a history of childhood sexual abuse underwent measurement of brain blood flow with positron emission tomography imaging while they listened to scripts describing neutral and personal abandonment events. Brain blood flow during exposure to abandonment and neutral scripts was compared among women with and without BPD.

RESULTS: Memories of …

Autobiographical Memory For Childhood Events: Patterns Of Recall In Psychiatric Patients With A History Of Alleged Trauma., Evan D. Parks Aug 1995

Autobiographical Memory For Childhood Events: Patterns Of Recall In Psychiatric Patients With A History Of Alleged Trauma., Evan D. Parks

Evan D Parks

SOCIAL scientists are currently being pressed upon by the legal and scientific communities to provide more definitive explanations regarding the nature and functions of memory (Loftus 1993). At the forefront of this debate is autobiographical memory. Autobiographical memory is a subclassification of memory within the declarative memory system and signifies memory for one's own personal life experiences in the recent and/or remote past. This study investigates the relationship between early trauma and memory for childhood events in adult psychiatric patients. The findings suggest that patients with an alleged history of trauma have a measurably different pattern of recall for early …

Selected Mmpi-2 Scales For Identifying Women With A History Of Sexual Abuse., Evan D. Parks Dec 1994

Selected Mmpi-2 Scales For Identifying Women With A History Of Sexual Abuse., Evan D. Parks

Evan D Parks

Studies with adults who have experienced early childhood sexual trauma suggest the presence of frequent long-term mental and physical sequelae. While the symptom profiles vary due to a number of moderating factors, the preponderance of evidence indicates that a significant level of distress and dysfunction is experienced by abused individuals. It is this increase in psychopathology that may be useful in correctly identifying patients who may be suspect for previous early trauma. In this study, selected Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) scales were use for identifying women with a history of sexual abuse.
