Mental health needs and implementation barriers for psychosocial support among forcibly displaced Ukrainians in Poland, Romania, and Slovakia : a qualitative analysis

Background: Since the beginning of Russia’s offensive war against Ukraine, over 6.3 million forcibly displaced persons (FDPs) have settled in the European Union. This study aimed to identify key mental health and psychosocial challenges among Ukrainian forcibly displaced persons (FDPs), including symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD, as well as barriers to implementing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.

Case Report : Multi-modal motion-assisted memory desensitization and reconsolidation for traumatic grief (3MDR-TG)

Background: The loss of a loved one under traumatic circumstances puts bereaved individuals at risk of developing prolonged grief disorder (PGD), (symptoms of) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), also referred to as traumatic grief. Traumatic grief is often associated with high symptom levels and strong avoidance. Not all patients benefit from standard treatments. Multi-modal Motion-assisted Memory Desensitization and Reconsolidation (3MDR) has shown to be effective in the treatment of treatment-resistant PTSD.

Are specific PTSD criteria associated with treatment outcome in traumatized veterans and police officers?

Background: A significant proportion of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) do not respond sufficiently to trauma treatment. To date, it has not been clearly demonstrated which patients respond well and which do not.

 

Objective: This study examined whether lifetime direct and interpersonal trauma exposure as well as the four distinct symptom clusters of PTSD were associated with treatment outcome.

 

Do young people get the mental healthcare they need? : Trajectories of depressive symptoms, correlates and care pathways in a clinical sample of young people reaching the upper age limit of their CAMHS.

Identifying young service users whose depressive symptoms persist into adulthood is crucial to avert potential difficulties they may face when transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental Healthcare Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Healthcare Services (AMHS). As depressive symptoms are diverse in severity and stability, it is important to objectively identify those who require continued support.

Feasibility, Acceptability and Clinical Utility of the Bereavement and Grief Cultural Formulation Interview for Prolonged Grief Disorder

Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a new diagnostic category included in global diagnostic classification systems for mental disorders. However, PGD can only be diagnosed if the severity and duration exceed socio-cultural norms. Here, we present a new supplementary module to the DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview: the Bereavement and Grief Cultural Formulation Interview (BG-CFI). The BG-CFI was developed to help clinicians provide a culturally informed diagnosis and guide treatment planning.

Trauma memories with and without moral conflict : characteristics, centrality, and associations with posttraumatic stress

The significance of moral conflicts that emerge during traumatic events and their influence on posttraumatic stress (PTS) and related symptoms are increasingly recognised. However, characteristics of the memories of these conflicts and how central these memories are within autobiographical memory remain largely unclear. In this study, students recalling trauma memories with a moral conflict were compared to students whose trauma memories did not include a moral conflict, in terms of the event-centrality of the trauma memory, memory characteristics, current emotional distress, and PTS.

Temporal associations between cultural identity conflict and psychological symptoms among Syrian young adults with refugee backgrounds : a four-wave longitudinal study

Objectives: The current study examined temporal associations between cultural identity conflict and psychological symptoms (posttraumatic stress [PTS] and anxiety/depression) in Syrian young adults, who recently migrated to the Netherlands. It was hypothesized that cultural identity conflict predicts intraindividual changes in PTS and anxiety/depression symptoms, in a course of one year, adjusting for trait-like stable invariant levels of both constructs.

A model training curriculum for psychedelic, psycholytic, and entactogen-assisted psychotherapy

The authors offer a model for curriculum for education and training in substance-assisted psychotherapy (SAP), that is, psychedelic, psycholytic, and entactogen/MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)-assisted psychotherapy, addressing both the detailed contents of training and the question of experiential training. All authors of this model have an abiding interest and extensive experience in both the theory and practical aspects of SAP and questions relating to training.

Exposure to potentially morally injurious events and long-term psychological outcomes among Dutch military service members deployed to Afghanistan : A latent class approach

Exposure to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) during military deployment is common and may lead to long-lasting negative psychological consequences, referred to as moral injury. Few studies investigated long-term outcomes following exposure to PMIEs.
