Understanding Interpersonal Trauma in Children: Why We Need a Developmentally Appropriate Trauma Diagnosis
TL;DR: Research is summarized that suggests directions for broadening current diagnostic conceptualizations for victimized children, focusing on findings regarding victimization, the prevalence of a variety of psychiatric symptoms related to affect and behavior dysregulation, disturbances of consciousness and cognition, alterations in attribution and schema, and interpersonal impairment.

Evaluation of the Evidence for the Trauma and Fantasy Models of Dissociation
Constance J. Dalenberg,Bethany L. Brand,David H. Gleaves,Martin J. Dorahy,Richard J. Loewenstein,Etzel Cardeña,Paul A. Frewen,Eve B. Carlson,David Spiegel +8 more
TL;DR: There is strong empirical support for the hypothesis that trauma causes dissociation, and that dissociation remains related to trauma history when fantasy proneness is controlled, and little support is found for the hypotheses that the dissociation-trauma relationship is due toantasy proneness or confabulated memories of trauma.

Dissociation Following Traumatic Stress Etiology and Treatment
Maggie Schauer,Thomas Elbert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cascade of six fear responses (Freeze-Flight-Fight-Fright Flag-Faint) is defined as a coherent sequence of six different fear responses that escalate as a function of defense possibilities and proximity to danger during life-threat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fear and the Defense Cascade: Clinical Implications and Management.
TL;DR: The process of shifting the neural pattern is the necessary first step in unlocking the patient’s trauma response, in breaking the cycle of suffering, and in helping the patient to adapt to, and overcome, past trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accounting for sex differences in PTSD: A multi-variable mediation model
TL;DR: The findings suggest that females report more PTSD symptoms because they experience higher levels of associated risk factors, such as depression and anxiety.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.
TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder and symptoms in adults: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that peritraumatic psychological processes, not prior characteristics, are the strongest predictors of PTSD.

Peritraumatic dissociation and posttraumatic stress in male Vietnam theater veterans.

TL;DR: Results provide support for the reliability and validity of the Peritraumatic Dissociation Experiences Questionnaire--Rater Version and for a trauma-dissociation linkage hypothesis: the greater the dissociation during traumatic stress exposure, the greaterthe likelihood of meeting criteria for current PTSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of PTSD in injured trauma survivors: A prospective study.
TL;DR: Peritraumatic dissociation is strongly associated with the later development of PTSD and early dissociation and PTSD symptoms can help the clinician identify subjects at higher risk for developing PTSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of posttraumatic stress symptoms among survivors of the Oakland/Berkeley, Calif., firestorm.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that dissociative symptoms experienced in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic experience and subsequent stressful experiences are indicative of risk for the later development of posttraumatic stress symptoms.
