Event Centrality: Debunking the “Bad Science” Myth That Self-reported Posttraumatic Growth Does Not Reflect Positive Change

Johnson, Stephanie Feil 08 1900 (has links)
Despite strong evidence supporting the existence of posttraumatic growth (PTG), some investigators question whether the construct measured by the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) is that of perceived growth or “actual” growth. In a replication of a recent investigation, the present study sought to refine the methodology used by employing the construct of event centrality. Due to its limited sample size, the results of this analysis did not provide strong evidence in support of the hypothesis that limiting analyses to individuals rating their trauma as high in event centrality improves the ability of the PTGI to reflect “actual” growth. However, results did support the idea that investigations of PTG conducted immediately following a trauma may be more reflective of a coping process, rather than growth. Further research is warranted to investigate the role of event centrality in posttraumatic growth, and the effect of time on the progression of growth following trauma.

A qualitative investigation into the application of Martin Buber's philosophical anthropology to the experience of trauma and its psychotherapeutic intervention.

Ress, Jonathan Sheldon January 2004 (has links)
This study focused on trauma and seeked to demonstrate that the application of a Buberian understanding to the experience of trauma can help shed light on the impact of trauma on a sufferer's life. The aim of the study was to gain an understanding of the impact of trauma on interpersonal relationships as well as to determine components of psychotherapy found most helpful in the recovering process.

Domains of Intellectual Functioning and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms Among Traumatized Youth

Durham, Katherine January 2019 (has links)
This investigation examined the association between Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; American Psychological Association, 1994) symptoms as measured by the Children’s PTSD Inventory (CPTSDI; Saigh, 2003a) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 3rd Edition (WISC-III; Wechsler, 1991) scores of 78 traumatized children (mean age = 13.42 years, SD = 2.68 years). Child diagnostic interviews determined that the participants did not have major comorbid disorders and were not taking medications that could influence cognitive functioning. Significant inverse correlations were observed between the different symptom CPTSDI clusters and the WISC-III Verbal indices. Moreover, with the exception of the WISC-III Block Design subtest, nonsignificant correlations were observed between the WISC-III Performance measures and the CPTSDI symptom clusters. Theoretical and clinical implications are considered.

Correlation between coping strategies and the levels of post traumatic stress disorder and depressive symptoms among sexually assaulted survivors in North West Province, South Africa / Nombulelo Veronica Zulwayo

Zulwayo, Nombulelo Veronica January 2013 (has links)
Sexual assault is a wide public health problem given the number of people who are sexually assaulted. Sexual assault affects the psychological well being of people who experience it.The most common reported psychological problems are PTSD and depressive symptoms especially after four to six weeks post sexual assault.These Co morbid disorders affect the normal functioning of an individual such home chores, work and increase mortality rate among sexual assaulted survivors. It was also documented that coping strategies (maladaptive or adaptive) employed by sexual assaulted survivors are the one that determine their recovery.Hence, there was a need to investigate the correlation between coping strategies, the level of PTSD and the level of depression in Ngaka Modiri Molema in the North West Province of South Africa. The study aimed to investigate correlation between coping strategies and the levels of PTSD and depression among sexual assaulted survivors. Correlational cross-sectional design was used in this study.Sample size of 115 of sexually assaulted participants between the age of 18 and 50 was determined through the use of Raosoft calculator. PCL for PTSD, BDI and brief COPE instruments were used to collect data. Information about socio demographic was also obtained.Data analysis was done through frequency distribution to describe the demographic data, levels of PTSD and depression.Data were also analysed through Pearson correlations to determine the possible relationship between coping, PTSD and depressive symptoms. ANOVA, chi-square, cross tabulation were also done to determine the possible relationship between demographic data, level of PTSD and depression. Results showed high level of PTSD and low level of depression among sexual assaulted survivors.They have also showed that there is no relationship between coping strategies and PTSD, and that there was a relationship between coping and depressive symptoms.These findings indicate that coping strategies cannot be regarded as one the factors that can control the non-development and development of PTSD, but could be regarded as one the factors that can account to development and non development of depression. / Thesis (M Cur) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2013

Motives for substance use in the presence and absence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) : a research portfolio

Traynor, Isabel January 2012 (has links)
Background: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is frequently linked with substance use disorder (SUD). However, the nature of this association remains unclear. A clearer understanding of the dynamic associations between PTSD and SUD may shed light on the course of these two disorders thereby, identifying areas for intervention, which may potentially reduce some of the associated costly and harmful outcomes. Methods: Firstly, a systematic review was conducted to investigate the evidence base regarding the relationship between PTSD and SUD. Secondly, an empirical project was undertaken to explore functional associations between PTSD and SUD. This was achieved by comparing, motives for substance use, anxiety and depression symptoms, and SUD symptom severity amongst treatmentseeking adults with and without PTSD. Results: Results from the systematic review suggest that individuals with comorbid PTSD and SUD have more severe clinical profiles compared to individuals with a SUD alone. The results from the empirical study indicate that those with PTSD endorse coping-related motives for substance use significantly more than those without PTSD. Furthermore, those with PTSD had significantly elevated SUD severity ratings and higher anxiety and depression scores. Conclusions: Findings suggest that individuals with comorbid PTSD and SUD are motivated to use substances to cope with negative affect. The clinical implications of this are discussed.
