Protean nature of mass sociogenic illness : from possessed nuns to chemical and biological terrorism fears.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Episodes of mass sociogenic illness are becoming increasingly recognised as a significant health and social problem that is more common than is presently reported.

AIMS:

To provide historical continuity with contemporary episodes of mass sociogenic illness in order to gain a broader transcultural and transhistorical understanding of this complex, protean phenomenon.

METHOD:

Literature survey to identify historical trends.

RESULTS:

Peritraumatic dissociation and physiological response to trauma-relevant stimuli in Vietnam combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder

Abstract

A recent study found that female rape victims with acute posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who received a high score on the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire exhibited suppression of physiological responses during exposure to trauma-related stimuli. The goal of our present study was to test whether the same relationship holds true for male Vietnam combat veterans with chronic PTSD, using secondary analyses applied to data derived from a Veteran's Affairs Cooperative Study.

Psychological sequelae of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The scope of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was unprecedented in the United States. We assessed the prevalence and correlates of acute post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression among residents of Manhattan five to eight weeks after the attacks.

METHODS:

We used random-digit dialing to contact a representative sample of adults living south of 110th Street in Manhattan. Participants were asked about demographic characteristics, exposure to the events of September 11, and psychological symptoms after the attacks.

Modern worries, new technology, and medicine.

Over recent years there has been a steady and important change in the public's perception of the relation between aspects of modern life and health. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, people's suspicion of modernity has increased to such an extent that it has undermined their view of their own health, increased their worries about environmental causes of poor health, and fostered a migration to complementary medicine.

Medically unexplained symptoms and the problem of power in the primary care consultation : a qualitative study.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Patients presenting in primary care frequently exhibit physical symptoms that may be unrelated to organic pathology. Such symptoms are commonly regarded as products of psychological or emotional problems, and their legitimacy as 'medical' matters is often called into question.

OBJECTIVES:

Our aim was to explore GPs' attitudes to the management of patients that present with medically unexplained symptoms in primary care.

METHODS:

Beliefs, sense of control and treatment outcome in post-traumatic stress disorder.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Few studies have shown that maladaptive beliefs relate to treatment outcome.

METHOD:

In a randomized controlled study, 87 patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had exposure therapy alone or cognitive restructuring alone, or both combined, or relaxation. Independent blind assessors assessed patients at pre-, mid- and post-treatment and at follow-up; at those times patients rated cognitive, behavioural and emotional aspects of their disorder.

RESULTS:

Impact of Event Scale : psychometric properties.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

For more than 20 years, the Impact of Event Scale (IES) has been widely used as a measure of stress reactions after traumatic events.

AIMS:

To review studies that evaluated the IES's psychometric properties.

METHOD:

Literature review.

RESULTS:

Psychosocial work characteristics as risk factors for the onset of fatigue and psychological distress : prospective results from the Maastricht Cohort Study

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Prolonged fatigue has recently attracted attention in occupational (mental) health research since it may lead to sickness absenteeism and work disability. To date, little is known about the role of psychosocial work characteristics in the aetiology of fatigue. In this study we examined prospectively a wide range of psychosocial work characteristics as possible risk factors for the onset of fatigue and psychological distress in the working population.
