Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed INTRODUCTION The treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has received a surge of interest recently with an increasing number of controlled pharmacologic trials. The most common treatments offered to trauma victims include psychotherapy, typically involving either behavioral techniques, cognitive approaches, crisis intervention, or psychodynamically orientated approaches; and group therapy including mutual self-help groups, and family therapy. These approaches have been used on a variety of trauma populations such as victims of combat, terrorism, rape, child abuse, accidents, and disasters. The role of pharmacotherapy in PTSD is more of as adjunctive therapy to alleviate depressive and anxiety symptoms in addition to serving a facilitative effect for psychotherapy. POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Recent research suggests that patients experiencing forms of trauma such as disaster, rape, or combat all have similar psychopathology (Solomon et al 1992). These patients not only show profiles consistent with PTSD, but often show symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, and Substance Abuse.

Extractions: Your 17-year-old daughter was recently involved in an automobile accident in which her best friend was killed instantly. Although your daughter was not seriously injured, over the past month, you have noticed that she has become increasingly withdrawn and anxious. She often expresses fear about driving and has recurrent nightmares about the night of the car accident. Although you suspect that your daughter is feeling distressed, you aren't sure how to intervene. How do you know if your child is depressed or experiencing a more serious problem? What can you do to help her feel like herself again? It's important to recognize that she may be experiencing an emotional reaction to the accident, and to understand that people who experience a traumatic event can be affected by an anxiety disorder called posttraumatic stress disorder. What Is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder? Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emotional condition that often occurs after direct or indirect exposure to a terrifying event in which physical harm was threatened, witnessed, or actually experienced. Traumatic events that can cause PTSD include violent assaults such as rape, physical or sexual abuse , school or neighborhood shootings, natural or manmade disasters, or car accidents. People who have been involved in military combat can also experience PTSD; this form of PTSD is sometimes called "shell shock." Mental health professionals also now recognize that the diagnosis of a life-threatening medical illness can also trigger PTSD in some individuals.

http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/ptsd.html

Extractions: A couple of months ago, someone at school smuggled a gun into the cafeteria. In the middle of lunch, he pulled it out and threatened a guy he'd been having trouble with for a while. You were only a few feet away from the confrontation, frozen in your seat, and for a few terrifying minutes it looked like the guy was going to start shooting. Luckily, the police arrived in time and nobody was hurt. But lately you've noticed that you feel annoyed and on edge a lot. Sudden noises send your heart racing, and you've stopped going to the cafeteria for lunch with your friends. The worst part is that you keep reliving those chilling moments in your mind, even when you're trying to concentrate on something else. In fact, you find it tough to concentrate at all these days, and stuff you used to love - like going to the movies, surfing the Web, or hanging out with friends - just doesn't seem like much fun. What's going on? Why do you feel so weird? You might not connect what you're going through with the almost-shooting, but there's a chance that witnessing that frightening encounter triggered the reactions you're having. Sometimes after experiencing a traumatic event - one that's especially frightening in a life-or-death kind of way - people have a strong and lingering reaction known as posttraumatic stress disorder.

Prostitution, Violence Against Women, And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Prostitution, Violence Against Women, and posttraumatic stress disorder by MelissaFarley, PhD and Howard Barkan, DrPH (*) Women Health, 27 (3) 3749.
http://www.prostitutionresearch.com/ProsViolPosttrauStress.html

Extractions: One hundred and thirty people working as prostitutes in San Francisco were interviewed regarding the extent of violence in their lives and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fifty-seven percent reported that they had been sexually assaulted as children and 49% reported that they had been physically assaulted as children. As adults in prostitution, 82% had been physically assaulted; 83% had been threatened with a weapon; 68% had been raped while working as prostitutes; and 84% reported current or past homelessness. We differentiated the types of lifetime violence as childhood sexual assault; childhood physical abuse; rape in prostitution; and other (non-rape) physical assault in prostitution. PTSD severity was significantly associated with the total number of types of lifetime violence (r = .21, p = .02); with childhood physical abuse (t = 2.97, p = .004); rape in adult prostitution (Student's t = 2.77, p = .01); and the total number of times raped in prostitution (Kruskal-Wallace chi square = 13.51, p = .01). Of the 130 people interviewed, 68% met DSM III-R criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD. Eighty-eight percent of these respondents stated that they wanted to leave prostitution, and described what they needed in order to escape.

About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 20 July 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling disorder. By definition prior psychological trauma plays a causal role in the disorder, and psychotherapy is a widely accepted intervention. Nevertheless there is growing evidence that PTSD is characterized by specific psychobiological dysfunctions, and this has contributed to a growing interest in the use of medication in its treatment. Objectives: The authors aimed to undertake a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the guidelines and using the software of the Cochrane Collaboration, and to provide an estimate of the effects of medication in this disorder. Secondary objectives were to explore questions about whether particular classes of medication are more effective and/or acceptable than others in the treatment of PTSD, and about which factors (clinical and methodological) predict response to pharmacotherapy. Search strategy: Selection criteria: All RCTs of PTSD (including both placebo controlled and comparative trials), whether published or unpublished, but completed prior to the end of 1999 were considered for the review.

Extractions: Anxiety Disorders 309.81 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Diagnostic Features The traumatic events can be reexperienced in various ways. Commonly the person has recurrent and intrusive recollections of the event (Criterion B1) or recurrent distressing dreams during which the event is replayed. (Criterion B2). In rare instances, the person experiences dissociative states that last from a few seconds to several hours, or even days, during which components of the event are relived and the person behaves as though experiencing the event at the moment (Criterion B3). Intense psychological distress (Criterion B4) or physiological reactivity (Criterion B5) often occurs when the person is exposed to triggering events that resemble or symbolize an aspect of the traumatic event (e.g., anniversaries of the traumatic event; cold, snowy weather or uniformed guards for survivors of death camps in cold climates; hot, humid weather for combat veterans of the South Pacific; entering any elevator for a woman who was raped in an elevator). The individual has persistent symptoms of anxiety or increased arousal that were not present before the trauma. These symptoms may include difficulty falling or staying asleep that may be due to recurrent nightmares during which the traumatic event is relived (Criterion D1), hypervigilance (Criterion D4), and exaggerated startle response or difficulty concentrating or completing tasks (Criterion D3).

Extractions: A combat veteran exposed to a loud noise 10, 20, or 30 years after combat reacts in a predictable way. Any event, sufficiently intense and similar to earlier combat experience, can precipitate a flashback or even a delayed Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The reaction is understood because the initial combat experience was life-threatening. Few realize that separation from the mother to the baby can be more frightening than war trauma to the soldier. For 150 million years of patterning of the mammalian brain, separation from the mother has meant death, and thus the human infant is very sensitive and easily overwhelmed by events that would seem non-traumatic to the adult. To the soldier, a loud noise in the present precipitates a flashback to a loud noise in the distant past. To the schizophrenic, separation from a "most important person" (husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend) - or group - in the present, precipitates a flashback to separation from the "most important person" (mother) in the distant past. The author has found that each initial psychotic episode - if the history is known - is precipitated by a separation from a most important person (or group) in the present.
