The role of social support in the aftermath of victimization : Interpersonal aspects of coming to terms with a victimization experience

Enduring a serious victimization experience significantly affects the social fabric of individuals and their surroundings. People suffering similar or even the same forms of victimization have vastly different experiences of the event and its aftermath (Ten Boom & Kuijpers, 2012). However, there is a common need for sense-making in the aftermath of such an experience, including a search for explanations of and meaning in the event (Aarten et al., 2020; Crossley 2000; Pemberton et al., 2019b).

 

Choosing the right track : improving PTSD treatment outcomes for patients with childhood abuse-related posttraumatic stress disorder

Physical and sexual abuse during childhood can have long lasting consequences such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Prolonged Exposure (PE) is an established and effective guideline treatment for PTSD.
