Posttraumatic Oxytocin Dysregulation: is it a link among Posttraumatic Self Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Pelvic Visceral Dysregulation conditions in women?

This article explicates a theory that oxytocin, a sexually dimorphic neurotransmitter and paracrine hormone, is a plausible mechanism linking early relational trauma with posttraumatic self disorders (e.g., dissociation, somatization, and interpersonal sensitivity), posttraumatic stress disorder, and pelvic visceral dysregulation disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis, and hyperemesis gravidarum). This posttraumatic oxytocin dysregulation disorders theory is consistent with the historical and contemporary literature.

Pharmacotherapy and aggressive behaviour in psychiatric patients = Farmacotherapie en agressie bij psychiatrische patiënten

Aggressive behaviour is an important problem in mental health care. Aggressive behaviour does not only affect staff and other patients, but also has a negative impact on the patient self. Studies have shown that aggressive patients have a longer stay on psychiatric wards compared to non-aggressive patients. In psychiatric wards, several interventions are used to manage aggressive behaviour. In the Netherlands, seclusion has for decades been a highly common intervention to manage (imminent) aggression. During recent years, however, the use of seclusion has been heavily criticized.

Particularité Clinique et thérapeutique d'un traumatisme psychique: etude d'un cas de viol chez une sénégalaise

Au Sénégal, les phénomènes d'agressions sexuelles ont connu une certaine recrudescence liée soit à une fréquence accrue, soit à une médiatisation outrancière. Cependant, les désastres psychologiques font des ravages parmi les victimes du fait de la tendance de certaines familles à passer le phénomène sous silence par crainte de la stigmatisation sociale ou au nom du maintien de la cohésion familiale.

Neurobilogische grundlagen der herausbildung psychotraumabedingter symptomatiken = essential neurobiological factors in the emergence of psychotrauma-related symptomatologies

Die Herausbildung psychotraumabedingter Symptomatiken stellt für Diagnostiker und Behandler eine enorme Herausforderung dar: Während unser gegenwärtiges Medizinsystem auf klar voneinander abgrenzbare und mit spezifischen Therapien behandelbare Erkrankungen ausgerichtet ist, zeigen sich Traumafolgestörungen sehr vielgestaltig und in individuell sehr unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen.

Neurogenes Zittern: eine körperorientierte Behandlungsmethode für Traumata in grossen Bevölkerungsgruppen = Neurogenetic tremors: the use of a body-based intervention for mass trauma recovery

Massentrauma wird immer mehr zu einem Thema globaler Besorgnis, da die Gruppe der Trauma-Überlebenden weltweit ständig wächst. Das Bewusstsein für Trauma und seine schädlichen Folgen dominiert diese Ära menschlicher Geschichte, somit wird Trauma von einem Thema peripheren Interesses zu einem zentralen Gegenstand der Forschung. Es braucht ein neues Paradigma der Traumaheilung, um große Bevölkerungsteile an Trauma-Überlebenden zu behandeln. Dieser Artikel stellt eine grundlegende körperorientierte Theorie und Interventionstechnik für die Heilung von Massentraumata vor.

Mon parcours traumatique chez hadès: survivre une deflagration massive en dix chocs progressifs = My traumatic journey with Hades: the progressive trauma of surviving a massive explosion

Cet article donne le retour d'expériences d'un survivant de la catastrophe de Ghislenghien, au moyen de son témoignage concernant le traumatisme progressif de sa survie. La chronologie des premiers moments est qualifiée comme un parcours traumatique chez Hadès et expliquée selon les modèles empiriques et les théories d'auteurs français psychodynamiques. Surtout les moments de dissociation péri-traumatique ? c.-à-d. de déréalisation, de pilotage automatique et de déni de la réalité ? semblent avoir eu un impact indélébile.
