Objective: To examine the effectiveness of group cognitive processing therapy (CPT) relative to trauma-focused group treatment as usual (TAU) in the context of a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) residential rehabilitation program. Method: Participants were 2 cohorts of male patients in the same program treated with either CPT (n = 104) or TAU (n = 93, prior to the implementation of CPT).

For almost 45 years, the experience of Jewish children who were hidden during World War II was considered to be of little importance, particularly with respect to what had taken place in the concentration camps. Their very history was ignored in the many accounts of the Holocaust. It was only at the end of the 1980s that their experience began to be thought of as potentially traumatic.

While suicide among recently returned veterans is of great concern, it is a relatively rare occurrence within individual hospitals and clinics. Root cause analysis (RCA) generates a detailed case report that can be used to identify system-based vulnerabilities following an adverse event. Review of a national database of RCA reports may identify common vulnerabilities and assist in the development of more robust prevention strategies.

Crée en 1997, le Pôle de soutien Psychologique de la SNCF accompagne les agents de l'entreprise confrontés à des drames humains (suicides, accidents mortels) ou à des actes violents. À défaut de leur éviter ces rencontres douloureuses, la SNCF se devait d'en limiter les effets psychologiques. Ainsi, solliciter un psychologue après un choc à caractère traumatique est devenu un acte quasi banal.
