Introduction The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) is a brief transdiagnostic screener that covers broad range of trauma-related disorders as well risk factors known to influence the course symptoms. Methods We analyzed data from African war refugees in Australia ( n = 70), including GPS, Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders (SCID-5), Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), and Brief Resilience (BRS). Results Using Youden’s J Index examine clinical validity GPS subscales measuring PTSD, dissociation, depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), we found subscale score 3 or higher, depression dissociation 1 was optimally efficient detecting probable diagnosis (Youden’s 0.76, 0.72, 0.90, respectively) with high sensitivity specificity. were unable test GAD due low occurrence. resilience item not related total r 0.02), indicating convergent resilience. Risk factors, current stressors childhood trauma history, more severe symptom scores, while lack resilience, social support, history mental illness not. Conclusion conclude may be useful screening tool dissociative subtype refugees.

To mark 15 years of the European Journal Psychotraumatology, editors reviewed past 15-year research on trauma exposure and its consequences, as well developments in (early) psychological, pharmacological complementary interventions. In all sections this paper, we provide perspectives sex/gender aspects, life course trends, cross-cultural/global systemic societal contexts. Globally, majority people experience stressful events that may be characterized traumatic. However, definitions what is traumatic are not necessarily straightforward or universal. Traumatic have a wide range transdiagnostic mental physical health limited to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research genetic, molecular, neurobiological influences show promise for further understanding underlying risk resilience trauma-related consequences. Symptom presentation, prevalence, course, response experiences, differ depending individuals' age developmental phase, sex/gender, sociocultural environmental contexts, socio-political forces. Early interventions potential prevent acute reactions from escalating PTSD diagnosis whether delivered golden hours weeks after trauma. prevention still scarce compared treatment where several evidence-based complementary/ integrative exist, novel forms delivery become available. Here, focus how best address negative outcomes following trauma, serve individuals across spectrum, including very young old, include considerations ethnicity, culture diverse beyond Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) countries. We conclude with providing directions future aimed at improving well-being impacted by around world. The EJPT webinar provides 90-minute summary paper can downloaded here [http://bit.ly/4jdtx6k].

Dissociative disorders (DDs) are characterized by a discontinuity in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, bodily representation, motor control, and action. The life-threatening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been identified as potentially traumatic event may produce wide range mental health problems, such depression, anxiety disorders, sleep DD, stemming from pandemic-related events, sickness, isolation, losing loved ones, fear for one's life. In our conceptual analysis, we introduce contribution structural dissociation personality (SDP) theory polyvagal to conceptualization COVID-19 pandemic-triggered DD importance assessing perceived safety through neurophysiologically informed psychometric tools. addition, analyzed eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) treatment suggest possible neurobiological mechanisms action EMDR. particular, propose that, slow movements, EMDR promote an initial non-rapid-eye-movement stage 1-like activity, subsequent access slow-wave oxytocinergic neurotransmission turn, foster functional coupling between paraventricular nucleus both sympathetic parasympathetic cardioinhibitory nuclei. Neurophysiologically tools evaluation DDs discussed. Furthermore, clinical public implications considered, combining EMDR, SDP theory, conceptualizations light potential dissociative symptomatology triggered pandemic.

It has been suggested that the COVID-19 pandemic was a potentially traumatic occurrence may have induced generalized anxiety and discomfort, particularly in susceptible populations like individuals with mental illnesses. The therapeutic approach known as eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) shown to be successful helping patients process events restore wellbeing. Nevertheless, little is about precise processes through which EMDR fosters symptom recovery.
