An increasing number of studies have been investigating the co-occurrence of posttraumatic symptoms and dissociation in trauma-exposed samples. As traumatized refugees are particularly susceptible to developing posttraumatic stress  disorder (PTSD), the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PTSD and dissociation in a traumatized refugee sample. 

Background
The occurrence of PTSD, depression, and anxiety is notably high among older adults following an earthquake. This research aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of mental health conditions among older survivors after an earthquake.
 

Background

National guidelines recognize lifetime trauma as relevant to clinical care for adults nearing the end of life. We determined the prevalence of early life and cumulative trauma among persons at the end of life by gender and birth cohort, and the association of lifetime trauma with end-of-life physical, mental, and social well-being.

Methods

The transgenerational impact of trauma is an emergent focus in the field of trauma research. A growing body of evidence suggests important consequences for the descendants of trauma survivors, at the individual, as well as the collective, and systemic levels. After a brief introduction to the main concepts and a summary of the key findings by population, the current article proposes a novel comprehensive model: the historical intergenerational trauma transmission model (HITT model).
