TL;DR: The impact of post-traumatic stress upon society is most floridly apparent through the process of warfare as mentioned in this paper, and it is hard to imagine a more destructive and psychologically debilitating process than warfare.
Abstract: The impact of post-traumatic stress upon society is most floridly apparent through the process of warfare. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a more destructive and psychologically debilitating process than warfare. Had there not been a Vietnam conflict, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may never have found its way into the official psychiatric taxonomy of the third edition (DSM-III) of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1980). Yet warfare is not the only set of conditions, by far, capable of engendering post-traumatic stress.

TL;DR: The functional analysis is the integration of several elements for individualized treatment decision making: the relative importance, interrelationships, and sequelae of a client's behavior problems and treatment goals and the relative modifiability, inter relationships, and strength of causal variables.
Abstract: The design of an individualized treatment program in behavior therapy is critical, complex, and strongly affected by pretreatment data obtained as part of a multimethod, multimodal assessment. The functional analysis is the integration of several elements for individualized treatment decision making: the relative importance, interrelationships, and sequelae of a client's behavior problems and treatment goals and the relative modifiability, interrelationships, and strength of causal variables. The functional analysis can be represented visually with the functional analytic clinical case model (FACCM), a vector-graphic representation of variables and functional relationships. This article describes and illustrates the methods, rationale, and characteristics of both the functional analysis and the FACCM, using a clinical case example. Research and restrictions on the treatment utility of the functional analysis are discussed. The design of an individualized behavioral treatment program involves important and complex clinical judgments. These judgments can affect the degree to which clients will experience a reduction in distress and an increase in quality of life. Individualized treatment programs can be difficult to design because they are often based on an integration of many separate clinical judgments, each of which is affected by multiple sources of data and subject to many sources of error and bias (see discussions in

TL;DR: It is concluded that nearly a decade following an initial review of DAT, there remains no compelling evidence that DAT is a legitimate therapy or that it affords any more than fleeting improvements in mood.
Abstract: Dolphin-Assisted Therapy (DAT) is an increasingly popular choice of treatment for illness and developmental disabilities by providing participants with the opportunity to swim or interact with live captive dolphins. Two reviews of DAT (Marino and Lilienfeld (1998) and Humphries (2003)) concluded that there is no credible scientific evidence for the effectiveness of this intervention. In this paper, we offer an update of the methodological status of DAT by re- viewing five peer-reviewed DAT studies published in the last eight years. We found that all five studies were methodologically flawed and plagued by sev- eral threats to both internal and construct validity. We conclude that nearly a decade following our initial review, there remains no compelling evidence that DAT is a legitimate therapy or that it affords any more than fleeting improve- ments in mood.

...In the primary analyses of their data, the TDCRP investigators found “no evidence of greater effectiveness of one of the psychotherapies as compared with the other and no evidence that either of the psychotherapies was significantly less effective than … imipramine plus clinical management” (Elkin, 1994, p, 971)....
