Social support and posttraumatic growth : A meta-analysis

Background: The beneficial role of social support on posttraumatic growth (PTG) has been assumed by theoretical models and established in some studies. However, there are inconsistent findings and little knowledge on moderators. The present study aims to investigate the overall effect size of the relationship and identify factors affecting the association.

 

Kolonialisme trok nog heel lang sporen in Indonesië

Op 17 augustus 1945 werd de onafhankelijke Republiek Indonesië uitgeroepen. Op 27 december 1949 legde Nederland zich daar, na een bloedige strijd, bij neer. Maar nog decennia lang trok het koloniale verleden diepe sporen in het onafhankelijke Indonesië.

 

The Dissociative Subtype of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder : A Systematic Review of the Literature using the Latent Profile Analysis

A PTSD subtype with dissociative symptoms (D-PTSD) was included in the DSM-5 recognizing the existence of a more severe form of PTSD, associated to past trauma, high comorbidity, and complex clinical management. As research is rapidly growing and results are inconsistent, a better investigation of this subtype is of primary importance.

 

Verzwegen en vergeten : Een inventariserend en verdiepend onderzoek naar gevangenenkampen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog op Nederlandse buitenplaatsen

Kastelen en buitenplaatsen in Nederland kennen een lange geschiedenis en hebben vele conflicten doorstaan. Hoewel kastelen en buitenplaatsen hun functie als militair object in de periode van de Tweede Wereldoorlog al verloren hadden, hebben ze in deze periode toch vaak een functie in de oorlogsvoering gespeeld. Buitenplaatsen hebben namelijk bijgedragen aan de ‘zuivering’ van de nazisamenleving in deze periode, omdat ze werden gebruikt voor praktische doeleinden zoals gevangenenkampen.   

 

Women's experiences of infertility after the Holocaust

Nuremburg trial evidence demonstrated that Nazis sought methods of mass sterilization of Jewish women. Immediately upon arrival at the concentration camps, over 98% of women stopped menstruating. There has been minimal investigation as to the cause(s) of amenorrhea, beyond malnutrition and trauma.

 

The Relevance of Trauma and Re-experiencing in PTSD, Mood, and Anxiety Disorders

How traumatic events (TEs) should be defined, and how specific TEs are for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were examined in a general mental health care population. Three definitions of TEs were defined, according to the PTSD criteria of DSM-IV. Half of the sample reported any TE, with a high prevalence of TEs among non-PTSD disorders.

 

De Onbekende Kinderen van Kamp Westerbork

Rob Trip gaat op zoek naar het bijzondere verhaal van de groep Onbekende Kinderen. Deze 51 opgepakte Joodse kinderen zitten in de zomer van 1944 in de weeshuisbarak van Kamp Westerbork.  Op één na overleven deze jonge kinderen drie concentratiekampen. En dat terwijl ze zonder hun ouders zijn en de Duitsers jarenlang op grote schaal kinderen de gaskamers insturen. Hoe kan het dat deze groep het wel overleeft? Wat hebben ze meegemaakt? Hoe is het hen vergaan na de Tweede Wereldoorlog?

Initial development of perpetrator confrontation using deepfake technology in victims with sexual violence-related PTSD and moral injury

Background: Interventions aimed at easing negative moral (social) emotions and restoring social bonds – such as amend-making and forgiving—have a prominent role in the treatment of moral injury. As real-life contact between persons involved in prior morally injurious situations is not always possible or desirable, virtual reality may offer opportunities for such interventions in a safe and focused way.

 

The impact of morally injurious events in a refugee sample : A quantitative and qualitative study.

Background: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often reported by refugees that faced violence and persecution. Some stressful events may also entail moral conflicts or dilemmas, described as “potentially morally injurious events” (PMIE). Very few studies have yet investigated the nature of these PMIEs in traumatized refugees, using both quantitative and qualitative data.

 

Let's talk about grief : Protocol of a study on the recognition and psychoeducation of prolonged grief disorder in outpatients with common mental disorders

Background: Recognition that the loss of a loved one may result in prolonged grief disorder (PGD) has gained broad attention recently. PGD may disturb daily functioning to such a degree that mental health treatment is required. Because PGD symptoms often resemble symptoms of common mental disorders (CMD) such as anxiety, depressive, and post-traumatic stress disorder, clinicians may not consider a PGD diagnosis. Moreover, cultural varieties in expression of PGD may complicate recognition.
