Introduction: Effective treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been established, but their applicability in complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is largely unknown.
 

Background Evidence-based psychological interventions for mental disorders are described in treatment protocols and manuals, which detail treatment components and conditions of application. Systematic evaluations of the accessibility of treatment protocols and manuals across multiple mental disorders are absent.

Objective We assessed whether treatment protocols or manuals for psychological interventions for severe mental disorders are accessible and publicly available.

Modern society is grappling with understanding and responding to women’s anger in a sociopolitical environment where, globally, violence against women is considered an epidemic, economic crises disproportionately affect women, and rights to access comprehensive reproductive health care are being eroded. There is much for women to be angry about, yet nascent scientific evidence exists on the phenomenology and consequences of women’s anger and its important link to trauma.

This dissertation investigates the relationship between victimization and its impacts on mental health, physical health, and biological aging. Using data from the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) and the Co-Twin Control Design (CTCD), the research disentangles the effects of victimization from genetic and shared environmental factors, offering a clearer understanding of its consequences.
