How many of your psychiatric patients have a history of severe
physical or psychological abuse or other psychological trauma?
These patients often present diagnostic dilemmas, get a variety of
diagnoses, and frequently prove difficult-to-treat. They may have
syndromes that are reminiscent of the post-traumatic sequelae in
adults, such as physiological hyperactivity, a sense of loss of
control, passivity alternating with uncontrolled violence, and
sleep disturbances including nightmares. Investigating the impact
of the traumatic event in connection with the development of the
disorder is essential to an effective treatment approach.
Psychological Trauma provides a basis for understanding human
response to trauma. The consequences of specific traumas have
usually been described as separate entities. This is the first book
to examine human response to trauma as a whole. In this thorough
study of the biologic, psychodynamic and social consequences of
trauma, separate chapters explore: • The impact of separation
from the parental figure on a child's development, including
cognitive and neurological disturbances • The psychobiology of
traumatic response • Traumatic antecedents of borderline
personality disorder • The effect of trauma on the family unit
• Amnesia and dissociation as response to trauma • A stress
management approach that can be incorporated into the treatment of
patients
