There accumulating evidence that working memory taxation the core mechanism EMDR derives its effect by taxing (WM) with dual task while actively keeping disturbing in mind. From theoretical stance, based upon assumptions derived from WM theory, effectiveness could be improved several adaptations.Objectives: To test assumption integrating these elements into standard protocol would enhance therapy, this adapted version (i.e. 2.0), was compared laboratory setting. It hypothesized 2.0 more efficacious than EMDR, show greater decrease therapy.

Background It is unclear whether people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and symptoms of complex PTSD due to childhood abuse need a treatment approach different from approaches in the guidelines. Aims To determine phase-based more effective than an immediate trauma-focused childhood-trauma related (Netherlands Trial Registry no.: NTR5991). Method Adults following were randomly assigned either condition (8 sessions Skills Training Affect Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), followed by 16 eye-movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) therapy; n = 57) or immediately (16 EMDR 64). Participants assessed for PTSD, other forms psychopathology before, during after at 3- 6-month follow-ups. Results Data analysed linear mixed models. No significant differences between two treatments on any variable post-treatment follow-up found. Post-treatment, 68.8% no longer met diagnostic criteria. Self-reported significantly decreased both STAIR–EMDR therapy ( d 0.93) 1.54) pre- assessment, without difference conditions. drop-out rates conditions found (STAIR–EMDR 22.8% v. 17.2%). study-related adverse events occurred. Conclusions This study provides compelling support use alone as opposed needing preparatory intervention.

Introduction This randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of physical activity added to an intensive trauma-focused treatment (TFT) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in comparison adding non-physical control activities. Methods A total 119 patients with PTSD were randomly assigned a condition (PA; n = 59) or (nPA; 60). The 8-day TFT programme consisted daily prolonged exposure, EMDR therapy, and psychoeducation, which was complemented activities versus mixtures guided (creative) tasks. As primary outcome, change clinician self-reported symptoms from pre-to post-treatment at 6 months follow-up measured. Results Intent-to-treat linear mixed-effects models showed no significant differences between PA nPA conditions on severity. Clinician significantly decreased both conditions, large effect sizes (e.g., CAPS-5 d pre-post 2.28). At post-treatment, 80.0% PA, 82.7% longer met diagnostic criteria PTSD.

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.
