This chapter explores morale and moral injury in the Russia-Ukraine War, emphasising the role of narratives. Ukrainians have been engaged in a fierce struggle for their very existence, while the morale-boosting narratives among Russian forces have faced serious challenges. Yet, the involvement of NATO countries possibly reinforced an ‘us against the rest’ mentality in Russian troops. Also, on the battlefield, unique dynamics shape morale, with the willingness to sacrifice for comrades being paramount for combat readiness.

De Grote Methodiekengids presenteert een actueel overzicht van begeleidingsmethodieken voor mensen met een verstandelijke beperking.

De traumagerelateerde aandoeningen zijn binnen de DSM-5 voor het eerst sinds de start van DSM onder één  hoofdstuk gevat; het hoofdstuk Trauma en Stressor gerelateerde aandoeningen. Hieronder vallen de acute stress stoornis, de Posttraumatische stressstoornis, de aanpassingsstoornis en, vanuit de kinder -en jeugdpsychiatrie, de reactieve hechtingsstoornis en de ontremd sociaal contactstoornis. De persisterende complexe rouwstoornis is in de DSM-5 opgenomen als een aandoening aarvoor al veel aanwijzingen bestaan en die verder onderzoek behoeft.

Psychological interventions can help reduce posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in youth, but many do not seek help. Internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) show promise in expanding treatment options. However, the overall evidence on IMIs in reducing PTSS among youth remains unclear.

As a cultural trauma, the Holocaust exerted negative psychological effects on many survivors, with such effects often extending to their families. Research has explored these effects with respect to the survivors' children and grandchildren, but the experiences of the next generation have yet to be canvassed.

Refugee children’s development may be affected by their parents’ war-related trauma exposure and psychopathology symptoms across a range of cognitive and affective domains, but the processes involved in this transmission are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impact of refugee mothers’ trauma exposure and mental health on their children’s mental health and attention biases to emotional expressions.

Background
Trauma-focused therapies (TFTs) are first-line treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, TFTs are under-utilised, partly due to clinicians’ and patients' fear that TFT is too challenging or harmful. We review the qualitative studies on how adults with PTSD experience TFTs to enhance the understanding of user perspectives, therapeutic processes, and outcomes.

Today, various questionnaires are available to assess Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in children; however, it is uncertain if these questionnaires are comprehensive in addressing adversities of vulnerable subgroups, specifically refugee children. This review’s objectives are to (1) identify current ACE questionnaires and determine if they are suitable in assessing refugee children’s adversities, and (2) identify those previously used within a refugee population.

The Amsterdam Sexual Abuse Case came to light at the end of 2010, in which a male daycare worker sexually abused dozens of children at a preverbal age. Additionally, he created pornographic imagery of the abuse and disseminated it widely. This situation was unprecedented due to the magnitude of the case, the extremely young age of the children, his role as a daycare employee, the high burden of proof, the detailed information on the sexual abuse, and the existence of pornographic material.

Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between early suicidality and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) onset in patients with physical injuries, focusing on age as a modifying factor.
