An interview study of 81 former political prisoners investigated whether posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is related to the way individuals process the prison experience. In contrast to participants without PTSD, those with chronic or remitted PTSD were more likely to perceive mental defeat and an overall feeling of alienation from other people. Chronic PTSD was also related to perceived negative and permanent change in their personalities or life aspirations. The groups did not differ in their attempts to gain control during imprisonment. Evidence for a relationship between political commitment and PTSD was mixed. The results suggest that mental defeat, alienation, and permanent change are related to PTSD after interpersonal trauma and may need to be addressed in treatment.

In this paper, the authors compare and contrast two psychotherapy paradigms for the treatment of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): a behavioral therapy (prolonged exposure; PE) and an experiential therapy (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy; AEDP). PE has received strong research support as an effective treatment for PTSD. The scientific evidence for experiential therapy is sparser, but also positive. In addition, clinical and research evidence suggest that (a) experiential processes are inherently embedded in PE, and may influence PE outcomes; and that (b) AEDP addresses several clinical and relational factors that are negative prognostic factors for PE (e.g., affect dysregulation, disorganized attachment, sense of alienation and mental defeat, dissociation, and disorders of the self). Suggestions are provided for further empirical exploration of the process and efficacy of AEDP and experientially informed PE for complex cases of PTSD.

This article describes a second treatment-outcome study of cognitive trauma therapy for battered women with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; CTT-BW). CTT-BW includes trauma history exploration: PTSD education; stress management; exposure to abuse and abuser reminders; self-monitoring of negative self-talk; cognitive therapy for guilt; and modules on self-advocacy, assertiveness, and how to identify perpetrators. One hundred twenty-five ethnically diverse women were randomly assigned to immediate or delayed CTT-BW. PTSD remitted in 87% of women who completed CTT-BW, with large reductions in depression and guilt and substantial increases in self-esteem. White and ethnic minority women benefited equally from CTT-BW. Similar treatment outcomes were obtained by male and female therapists and by therapists with different levels of education and training. Gains were maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

Trauma exposure is frequently overlooked as a risk factor for psychiatric morbidity among studies with Latinos. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among trauma history, immigration-related factors, and mental health status among Latina immigrants. The current study used baseline data from a randomized clinical trial for the treatment of depression of 64 women with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and depression, 69 with depression-only, and 61 with no Axis I mental disorder. Sixty-four percent of the sample was Central American and 75% reported trauma exposure. Multinomial logit analysis suggested fewer years in the United States was associated with worse mental health status. Having a nonmarried marital status was also associated with worse mental health. Reporting four or more types of traumatic events was associated with an increase in the probability of comorbidity. These findings have important implications for future research and clinical practice. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

The present study examined the association of childhood risk factors with exposure to traumas and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a unique symptom configuration after exposure to an unusual, extreme event. Data come from the US National Comorbidity Study of 5,877 respondents aged 15-54 years conducted between September 1990 and February 1992. The risk factors examined were preexposure affective, anxiety, and substance use disorders; parental mental and substance use disorders; parental aggression toward the respondent and toward the other parent; and a nonconfiding relationship with the mother during childhood. Analyses were stratified by gender and adjusted for demographic variables and traumatic experiences prior to the index trauma. The occurrence of trauma was associated with many risk factors in women but few in men. Similarly, more risk factors predicted PTSD in women than in men. Overall, when respondents were grouped into broad trauma categories, an increase in the number of risk factors was associated with higher rates of PTSD. However, in analyses of the trauma subsample that adjusted for individual type of trauma (e.g., rape, physical attack), only one risk factor (history of affective disorder) predicted PTSD in women, and two (history of anxiety disorder and parental mental disorder) predicted PTSD in men. The results thus indicate that although these risk factors have an important association with PTSD, they operate largely by predicting trauma exposure rather than by predicting the onset of disorder after exposure. 相似文献

Objective: The authors compared symptom change trajectories and treatment outcome categories in children and adolescents receiving routine outpatient mental health services in a public community mental health system and a private managed care organization. Method: Archival longitudinal outcome data from parents completing the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (Y-OQ) were retrieved for children and adolescents (4–17 years old) served in a community mental health system (n = 936, mean age = 12 years, 40% girls or young women, 28% from families of color) and a managed care organization (n = 3,075, mean age = 13 years, 45% girls or young women, race and ethnicity not reported). The authors analyzed Y-OQ data using multilevel modeling and partial proportional odds modeling to test for differences in change trajectories and final outcomes across the 2 service settings. Results: Although initial symptom level was comparable across the 2 settings, the rate of change was significantly steeper for cases in the managed care setting. In addition, 24% of cases in the community mental health setting demonstrated a significant increase in symptoms over the course of treatment, compared with 14% of cases in the managed care setting. Conclusions: These results emphasize the need for increased attention to negative outcomes in routine mental health services and provide a stronger foundation for identifying youth cases at risk for treatment failure. In addition, given the overall differences observed across treatment settings for average rate of change and deterioration rates, results suggest that setting-specific model heuristics should be used for identifying cases at risk for negative outcomes.

A controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of exposure plus response-prevention treatment of bulimia nervosa was conducted in a sample of 47 women. This was a four-group comparison involving three treatment conditions and a waiting-list control group. The three treatment conditions were (a) exposure plus response prevention conducted in a single setting (clinic), (b) exposure plus response prevention conducted in multiple settings (clinic, patients' homes, and restaurants), and (c) cognitive–behavioral therapy without exposure plus response prevention. All treatment was provided to groups of 3 patients at a time. Outcome was evaluated at posttreatment and at a 6-month follow-up. The three treatment groups improved significantly on most outcome measures, whereas the waiting-list control group showed little change. At follow-up, there was a slightly better outcome on vomiting behavior and amount of food consumed in one of the test meals for the exposure plus response-prevention groups relative to the no-exposure group. However, on all other measures, the degree of improvement from pretreatment to follow-up was the same for all three treatment groups. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

Though the broader literature suggests that women may be more vulnerable to the effects of trauma exposure, most available studies on combat trauma have relied on samples in which women's combat exposure is limited and analyses that do not directly address gender differences in associations between combat exposure and postdeployment mental health. Female service members' increased exposure to combat in Afghanistan and Iraq provides a unique opportunity to evaluate gender differences in different dimensions of combat-related stress and associated consequence for postdeployment mental health. The current study addressed these research questions in a representative sample of female and male U.S. veterans who had returned from deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq within the previous year. As expected, women reported slightly less exposure than men to most combat-related stressors, but higher exposure to other stressors (i.e., prior life stress, deployment sexual harassment). No gender differences were observed in reports of perceived threat in the war zone. Though it was hypothesized that combat-related stressors would demonstrate stronger negative associations with postdeployment mental health for women, only one of 16 stressor × gender interactions achieved statistical significance and an evaluation of the clinical significance of these interactions revealed that effects were trivial. Results suggest that female Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom service members may be as resilient to combat-related stress as men. Future research is needed to evaluate gender differences in the longer-term effects of combat exposure. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

History of early childhood trauma was prevalent and highly correlated with Disorders of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified (DESNOS) in a sample of veterans in inpatient treatment for chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). DESNOS predicted reliable change on a variety of measures of psychiatric symptomatology (including PTSD) and psychosocial functioning independently of the effects of PTSD diagnosis and early childhood trauma history. DESNOS also predicted treatment outcome on PTSD and quality of life measures after controlling for the effects of ethnicity, war zone trauma exposure severity, initial level of symptomatic severity or quality of life, Axis I (PTSD and major depression) and Axis II (personality disorder) diagnostic status, and early childhood trauma history. Early childhood trauma was not predictive of outcome. DESNOS appears to play an important role in assessment and treatment planning for psychotherapeutic rehabilitation of chronic PTSD. 相似文献

The role of object relations as a predictor of outcome was evaluated in inpatient posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment. Cohort outcome at discharge on psychometric indices was mixed, with limited evidence of reliable or clinically significant change. Treatment was associated with an overall reduction in utilization of inpatient psychiatric and residential domiciliary services. However, moderate (vs. low) levels of object relations were predictive of reliable change outcome, independent of demographics, Axis II diagnosis, symptomatic severity, or early childhood or war zone trauma exposure. The findings suggest that consideration should be given both to the manner in which patients seeking treatment for PTSD are screened and matched with a range of treatment or rehabilitation services and to how treatment outcome is conceptualized beyond symptom reduction. Rehabilitation of chronic posttraumatic symptomatology and associated psychosocial impairment may be facilitated by assessment, treatment design, and client–treatment matching on the basis of multidimensional psychological indices.

Symptom exacerbation (i.e., treatment side effects) has often been neglected in the psychotherapy literature. Although prolonged exposure has gained empirical support for the treatment of chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), some have expressed concern that imaginal exposure, a component of this therapy, may cause symptom exacerbation, leading to inferior outcome or dropout. In the present study, symptom exacerbation was examined in 76 women with chronic PTSD. To define a "reliable" exacerbation, we used a method of incorporating the standard deviation and test-retest reliability of each outcome measure. Only a minority of participants exhibited reliable symptoms exacerbation. Individuals who reported symptom exacerbation benefited comparably from treatment. Further, symptom exacerbation was unrelated to dropout. Thus, although a minority of individuals experienced a temporary symptom exacerbation, this exacerbation was unrelated to outcome.

A comprehensive review of research evaluating psychological treatments of musical performance anxiety is provided. Studies were evaluated against key methodological criteria for psychotherapy outcome research. Available literature points to the utility of exposure and cognitive therapies, although there is no clear-cut evidence suggesting the superiority of one approach or benefits of combining the two. Past research is characterized by recurring methodological limitations, particularly overreliance on self-report outcome measures. Future investigations should consider screening out individuals who do not evidence marked dysfunction and whose anxiety results from weak technical ability, as well as including treatment manuals, multiple therapists, multichannel outcome measures, and follow-up data. Clinicians working with musicians experiencing performance anxiety may wish to incorporate exposure and cognitive restructuring in treatment.

Two studies examined interactions of implicit power motivation and experimentally varied victory or defeat in a contest on implicit learning of a visuomotor sequence associated with the contest outcome and changes in testosterone and self-reported affect. In men and women, power motivation predicted enhanced learning (sequence-execution accuracy) after a victory and impaired learning after a defeat. In men, power motivation predicted testosterone increases among winners and decreases among losers, and testosterone decreases mediated the negative effect of power motivation on learning in losers. In women, power motivation predicted postcontest testosterone increases, particularly among losers. In both men and women, self-reported affective states were influenced only by contest outcome and were unrelated to participants' testosterone changes or implicit learning.

Interest in social phobia has increased dramatically in the past decade, and our knowledge of this previously understudied disorder has increased as well. We now know that social phobia is a chronic condition and that patients with this disorder are unlikely to experience significant improvement without intervention. It is also a highly prevalent condition affecting as many as 13% of the adult population of the Unites States. Although our understanding of the causes of social phobia remains limited, we do know that it is associated with serious impairment and disability in multiple spheres. Thus, the development of treatments with proven long-term efficacy is an important research goal. In this article, we have reviewed studies that examined either exposure, cognitive restructuring, social skills training, or some combination of these treatments. Here, we summarize the major findings of this review. Exposure has fared well as a treatment for social phobia and, in every case, within-group analyses show that patients have improved after treatment. Methodologic problems in some studies, however, limit the conclusions that can be drawn about the comparative efficacy of exposure, social skills training, and relaxation therapy. Conceptual models of social phobia have stressed the importance of cognitive processes in the development and maintenance of social phobia and much attention has been directed at the long-term efficacy of cognitive-behavioral techniques. It has been hypothesized that exposure plus cognitive restructuring would be a particularly effective combination and several methodologically sound studies have examined this combination. These studies have demonstrated consistently clinically significant within-group changes and superiority to control conditions. Heimberg's CBGT is probably the most widely studied of these treatments. CBGT has been shown to be more effective than an equally credible attention-placebo group. Patients receiving CBGT have maintained their advantage over patients in the attention-placebo group, even 5 years after treatment although flaws in that follow-up study limit generalizability of its results. Generalized and nongeneralized social phobic patients respond equivalently to this highly integrated treatment, and it has been applied effectively by researchers outside the center where it was developed. Despite the successes of combined exposure and cognitive restructuring treatments, it remains unclear as to what the effective component(s) of these and similar treatments are and, therefore, whether or not the integration of therapy components is really necessary. A number of the studies reviewed addressed this question with mixed results. Three studies showed that the combination therapy was superior to either treatment alone. There is also evidence that patients treated with exposure only may show some deterioration during follow-up whereas patients treated with cognitive restructuring and exposure may continue to improve. Still, other studies found no differences in long-term outcome among exposure alone, RET, or the combined treatment. Hope et al found that exposure alone was as effective as an integrated treatment combining exposure and cognitive restructuring (CBGT), and Taylor and colleagues (submitted for publication, 1995) reported that exposure was not enhanced by initial treatment with cognitive restructuring. These results are disappointing in light of all that has been written about the likely benefits of combining cognitive and behavioral therapy in the treatment of social phobia. For example, it has been hypothesized that fear of negative evaluation is a key factor in social phobia and that change in this construct should be the goal of treatment. There is some research that supports this claim and other evidence that suggests that exposure alone is not particularly effective in producing those changes. Butler concluded that the treatment of social phobia is made more difficult whe 相似文献

Should psychotherapists limit their clinical work with trauma survivors to avoid being traumatized themselves? Vicarious traumatization (VT—the symptoms similar to posttraumatic stress disorder and the disruption in cognitive schemas reported in clinicians who are exposed to the trauma material of their clients—was assessed in a national survey of 1,000 women psychotherapists. Therapists with higher levels of exposure to sexual abuse material reported significantly more trauma symptoms but no significant disruption of cognitive schemas. Spiritual well-being, a key area thought to be damaged by VT, was found to be higher for those clinicians who saw more sexual abuse survivors.

Emotional trauma occurs in many patients with chronic pain, particularly fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Current cognitive-behavioral treatments for chronic pain have limited effects, perhaps because the trauma is not addressed, whereas emotional exposure-based treatments improve post-traumatic stress, but have not been tested on chronic pain. The authors present a novel, brief treatment protocol for people with chronic pain and unresolved trauma (Multi- Stimulus, Multi-Technique Emotional Exposure Therapy), which involves detecting avoidance of a range of emotion-related stimuli, implementing exposure techniques tailored to the patient's avoidances, and negotiating the process and therapeutic alliance. This treatment was pilot tested on 10 women with intractable FMS and trauma histories. Three months post-treatment, the sample showed moderate to large effects on stress symptoms, FMS impact, and emotional distress; and small-to-moderate improvements on pain and disability. Two patients showed substantial improvement, four made moderate gains, two showed modest improvement, and two did not benefit. This pilot study suggests that emotional exposure treatment for unresolved trauma may benefit some patients with FMS. Controlled testing of the treatment for FMS and other chronic pain populations is indicated. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

In meta-analysis format the effectiveness of Beck's cognitive therapy for depression was reviewed. Twenty-eight studies were identified that used a common outcome measure of depression, and comparisons of cognitive therapy with other therapeutic modalities were made. The results document a greater degree of change for cognitive therapy compared with a waiting list or no-treatment control, pharmacotherapy, behavior therapy, and other psychotherapies. The degree of change associated with cognitive therapy was not significantly related to the length of therapy or the proportion of women in the studies, and although it was related to the age of the clientele, a lack of adequate representativeness of various age groups renders these results equivocal. Implications for further outcome and process studies in cognitive therapy are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

The transportability of cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) for panic disorder to a community mental health center (CMHC) setting at 1-year follow-up was examined by comparing CMHC treatment outcome data with results obtained in controlled efficacy studies. Participants were 81 CMHC clients with a primary diagnosis of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia who completed CBT for panic disorder. Despite differences in settings, clients, and treatment providers, both the magnitude of change from pretreatment to follow-up and the maintenance of change from posttreatment to follow-up in the CMHC sample were comparable with the parallel findings in the efficacy studies. At follow-up, 89% of the CMHC clients were panic free and a substantial proportion of the sample successfully discontinued benzodiazepine use.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of epidural vs general anesthesia on the incidence of long-term cognitive dysfunction after total knee replacement surgery in older adults. DESIGN: Randomized controlled clinical trial. SETTING: Orthopedic specialty academic hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 262 patients undergoing elective primary total knee replacement with a median age of 69 years; 70% women. INTERVENTION: Random assignment to either epidural or general anesthesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A thorough neuropsychological assessment was performed preoperatively and repeated at 1 week and 6 months postoperatively. Cognitive outcome was assessed by within-patient change on 10 tests of memory, psychomotor, and language skills. Prospective standardized surveillance for cardiovascular complications was performed to allow simultaneous assessment of anesthetic effects on cognitive and cardiovascular outcomes. RESULTS: The two groups were similar at baseline in terms of age, sex, comorbidity, and cognitive function. There were no significant differences between the epidural and general anesthesia groups in within-subject change from baseline on any of the 10 cognitive test results at either 1 week or 6 months. Overall, 5% of patients showed a long-term clinically significant deterioration in cognitive function. There was no difference between the anesthesia groups in the incidence of major cardiovascular complications (3% overall). CONCLUSIONS: The type of anesthesia, general or epidural, does not affect the magnitude or pattern of postoperative cognitive dysfunction or the incidence of major cardiovascular complications in older adults undergoing elective total knee replacement. This is the largest trial of the effects of general vs regional anesthesia on cerebral function reported to date, with more than 99% power to detect a clinically significant difference on any of the neuropsychological tests. 相似文献

The purpose of this treatment package design study was to investigate the differential efficacy of cognitive therapy or exposure in vivo with response prevention for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) versus the sequential combination with fluvoxamine. Patients with OCD (N = 117) were randomized to one of the following five conditions: a) cognitive therapy for weeks 1 to 16, b) exposure in vivo with response prevention for weeks 1 to 16, c) fluvoxamine for weeks 1 to 16 plus cognitive therapy in weeks 9 to 16, d) fluvoxamine for weeks 1 to 16 plus exposure in vivo with response prevention in weeks 9 to 16, or e) waiting list control condition for weeks 1 to 8 only. Assessments took place before treatment (pretest) and after 8 (midtest), and 16 weeks (posttest). In the first 8 weeks, six treatment sessions were delivered. During weeks 9 to 16, another 10 sessions were given. Thirty-one patients dropped out. Outcome was assessed by patient-, therapist- and assessor-ratings of the Anxiety Discomfort Scale, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale, and the Padua Inventory-Revised. In contrast with the four treatments, after 8 weeks the waiting list control condition did not result in a significant decrease of symptoms. After 16 weeks of treatment, all four treatment packages were effective on these OCD ratings, but they did not differ among each other in effectiveness. In OCD, the sequential combination of fluvoxamine with cognitive therapy or exposure in vivo with response prevention is not superior to either cognitive therapy or exposure in vivo alone. 相似文献
