The author outlines Freud's fundamental hypotheses concerning the concept of traumatism, then goes on to differentiate three notions (French being a particularly apposite language for such a venture): ‘traumatism’, ‘traumatic’ (in a substantive sense) and ‘Trauma’.

This paper focuses on trauma, particularly the history of trauma in psychoanalysis—a highly traumatic history. The author suggests, using data unearthed primarily over the past twenty-five years and with reference to Caruth's work on trauma theory, that the psychoanalytic exploration of trauma itself followed a traumatic course and therefore also needed a double, belated emergence to find a “voice” and hearing. This traumatic course had its stormy inception in the early period of psychoanalysis. The work of Sandor Ferenczi, especially in his last years, brought to the fore the crucial importan...

Exatamente como indica o titulo, o presente artigo e um exame principalmente da primeira parte do romance Galileia, de Ronaldo Correia da Brito, de 2008. Denominamos primeira parte porque corresponde ao percurso que abre a narrativa, em que tres primos, distanciados no tempo e geograficamente, percorrem a estrada que os leva a fazenda de seu avo enfermo, cujo aniversario a festejar pode dar lugar a seu velorio. A narracao fica a cargo de um deles, que, na convivencia imposta pela camionete em que viagem, com maior e menor interacao com os primos, avalia penosamente as dificuldades que tal reto...

One of the most influential contemporary accounts of psychological trauma, that of Cathy Caruth, does not fit some of the most traumatized men and women of the twentieth century: survivors of the Holocaust. Since Caruth would transform trauma into an engine of history, it is fair to ask why her account fails. Basing her account of trauma on a theory intentionally lacking psychological depth, Caruth, like other trauma theorists, is unable to account for trauma as a crisis of confidence in the value of life over death. My research on historical trauma is primarily based on recorded interviews wi...

This article analyzes a number of traumatic events and the way in which victims have responded to these events and their interpretation by third parties, which may seriously hamper the way victims understand and process their experiences. These interpretations may affect and even complicate the work of rescue-workers and other caregivers, counselors, and therapists long after the event. Insofar as these interpretations are deliberate, one could consider them a form of abuse. Victims are not able to relate to the catastrophic course of events as they themselves have experienced them, which woul...

It is now recognized that the postoperative course following a trauma-related amputation is fraught with complications and difficulties, and a large percentage of these patients with a traumatic amputation still did not have fully healed soft tissues.

Although it is reasonable to expect a high morbidity from focal " myocarditis," the scarcity of patiiological data points to an unsatisfactory and usually inadequate histological examination of autopsy material.

In this chapter the essential aspects of anesthesia for traumatic brain injury are discussed and issues related to intraoperative management in this case include induction and use of blood products.

Based on interviews conducted in the 1990s, the early 2000s and, again, since 2013, this article discusses views on deindustrialisation in the Asturian coalfields. While the historical experience of the Asturian miners has been shaped by forms of workers’ radicalism and their Anti-Francoist resistance, the conflicts around the shrinking of the coal industry have taken on a paradoxical outlook. On the one hand, the labour movement, and the trade unions in particular, have succeeded in securing measures to ease the transition into a post-industrial period. On the other hand, these measures are a...

The clinical example presented by the author is a description of the assessment and treatment of a four-year-old boy who had been mauled by a leopard in a suburban pet store and the fact that conflicts predated the traumatic event is postulated to be a determinant of the traumatic process.

Holocaust education is as vital as it is global in scope. However, museums cannot simply present the uninterpreted, vivid trauma of the Holocaust to young children. This challenge is then further complicated as museums must make the learning enjoyable enough that children want to learn it—a seemingly impossible task. To avoid Holocaust fatigue or traumatizing young audiences, I suggest here a triad model with which museum professionals should engage to create a meaningful and educational Holocaust exhibit for children. The triad model is based on participant agency, authenticity, and pers...

Nonostante la vicinanza linguistica in tedesco, i due termini Traum e Trauma, sogno e trauma, sembrano tuttavia opporsi nel modo piu radicale. Il trauma, come irruzione dell’evento reale, pare venire a distruggere tutto cio che e dell’ordine del sogno, chiudendo l’apertura al possibile che del sogno e propria. Indagando piu a fondo la relazione tra questi due termini, il contributo mette in luce un legame tra questi due termini piu profondo di quello appena evocato, sulla base del quale e possibile offrire chiavi di lettura utili per pensare la pratica clinica, il paziente, il curante, l’uomo ...

This study examined vicarious traumatization (i.e., the deleterious effects of trauma therapy on the therapist) in 188 self-identified trauma therapists. Participants completed questionnaires about their exposure to survivor clients' trauma material as well as their own psychological well-being. Those newest to the work were experiencing the most psychological difficulties (as measured by the TSI Belief Scale; L. A. Pearlman, in press-a) and Symptom Checklist-90—Revised (L. Derogatis, 1977) symptoms. Trauma therapists with a personal trauma history showed more negative effects from the work th...

In this essay, authors Lawson, Caringi, Gottfried, Bride, and Hydon introduce the concept of trauma literacy, connecting it to students' trauma and educators' secondary traumatic stress (STS). Interactions with traumatized students is one cause of STS; others derive from other traumatic encounters in schools and communities. Undesirable effects of STS start with professional disengagement and declining performance, include spill-over effects into educators' personal lives, and, ultimately, may cause them to leave the profession. The authors contend that alongside trauma-informed pedagogies and...

A 9-year experience of a trauma center with surgical management of multiorgan trauma patients with TKI is presented, finding that TKIs usually appear in young males and predominantly follow blunt abdominal trauma.

The literary trauma theory, which facilitates the transmission of traumatic psychology through the philosophy of language, enables the analysis of the emotional, psychological and sociological connections between the literary text and its author. Utilizing linguistic data and engaging in sequential and syntactic readings, the literary trauma theory helps examine the reflection of psychological traumas in the text and explore narratives of the post-traumatic period. Grounded in the common ground of psychology and literature, this theory has been established by various theorists ranging from Sig...

The author proposes to distinguish between three theoretico-clinical variations of the concept of traumatism (“traumatism”, “traumatic” and “trauma”), developed by S. Freud between 1895 and 1938, but which still maintain their pertinence today from a metapsychological standpoint.

It used to be said that post-traumatic stress disorder was a normal reaction to an abnormally traumatic situation, and that anyone was susceptible to its development.

This chapter discusses empirical research on Early Interventions for Trauma and Traumatic Loss in Children and Adolescents and the challenge of Providing Mental Health Prevention and Early Intervention in the US Military.

In the Netherlands 150000 accident victims are taken to a hospital each year; 6000 of them die; one in a hundred is handicapped as a consequence of the trauma; in the Radboud hospital very good results are obtained in the treatment of traumatic patients.

Thus, according to Freud, a trauma is characterised by an influx of excitations, which is excessive, relative to the tolerance of the subject and his ability to master and psychically elaborate these excitations. Sigmund Freud employs the term “trauma”, from its meaning in ancient Greek, by transposing on the psychic field the three meanings implied in it: a violent shock, a break-in and the consequences on the whole organisation [1].

The participants included six mCounselling Psychologists, two Consultant Psychiatrists, three Community Psychiatric Nurses and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist from an opportunity sample. The study took place within a National Health Service Mental Health Trust located in the South East of England. All the participants worked with suicidal clients. Nine had experienced the suicide of one or more clients. Employing interpretative phenomen...

The authors intend to review the way cerebral structures, multiple neuronal and hormonal ways form a complex mechanism of reaction to stress and demonstrate the relation between psychopathological events, namely in PTSD, the phenomenology of the trauma and neurobiological changes.

In terms of being a comprehensive reference work containing articles on numerous aspects of a particular field, this book fulfils its desired role, however given the repetitive nature of some aspects and the lack of clear linking at times to the topic; this encyclopaedia seemed to straddle itself between users.

Trauma patients are frequently cause admission to emergency departments in our country. Traffic accidents are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. 20% of deaths due to these accidents are sourced from cardiac injuring. So, determining cardiac affection at the particulary traffic accidents is very important to decrease death at the traffic accidents. At the cardiac injuring diagnosis, it has been stated that important complications depending on continuous cardiac monitoring after trauma and death can be prevented the principle is fast diagnosing.

In this chapter, the authors propose that stalking trauma syndrome (STS) is a condition that can occur when a victim is subjected to repeated and persistent stalking behavior. In STS, a stalking victim experiences: (1) a cycle of crisis; (2) significant psychological effects, including helplessness and hopelessness, anxiety, depression, desperation, and loss of control as well as behavioral changes; and (3) recovery-based effective coping tools for stalking victims and their families. Take a journey with the authors and vicariously observe and experience stalking behavior as it was once allowe...

Abstract:Experiences of loss, tragedy, violence, and upheavals are ubiquitous, with the majority of individuals experiencing several distressing events during their lifetime. Such events may be conceptualized as “traumatic” and contribute to negative changes in mental health. Despite decades of research on the study and treatment of trauma, it remains unclear when a negative event becomes traumatic. Although biologically- and psychologically-based models shed light on this question, we propose a more comprehensive and nuanced conceptualization will emerge from the integration of cultural theor...

Of the five types of trauma and stress related disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), is more common for people who have an intellectual or developmental disability (IDD) than among the general population.

A 40-year-old male referred to radiology department with persisting and painful swelling of the ankle following an inversion trauma is presented with a false aneurysm originating from a distal anterior tibial artery side branch; the lateral malleolar artery.

Research was conducted to determine the extent and nature of traumatic events experienced by missionaries and the extent to which missionaries reported Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms due to traumatic exposure on the mission field. Ninety-four percent of missionaries reported having been exposed to trauma on the field, with 86% reporting exposure to multiple incidents. This was considerably higher than their exposure when off the field and could be attributed primarily to an increased risk of exposure to civil unrest and violent crime. Less than half of the missionaries reported ...

The incidence of traumatic intracranial aneurysm was exceedingly low (0.65%) over 10-years, adding to the growing literature questioning the empiric use of CTA for detecting vascular injuries in patients with blunt TBI.

Common themes associated with missed injuries are discussed, and steps that practitioners can take are highlighted to minimize delays in diagnosis and to reduce the number of missed injuries.

Following the replacement of cerebral angiography with CT in the diagnostic evaluation of head traumas fewer traumatic aneurysms have been observed, which may indicate that some traumatic anewaterysms are missed if angiographic procedures are not performed in patients with severe head injury.

Psychoanalysis began with the concept of psychic trauma, which was subsequently not clearly differentiated from traumatic object loss or from unconscious conflict and fantasy, and the sequelae of traumatic experience are noted.

The author presents a model for teaching graduate students about trauma treatment based on the principles of resourcing, titration, and reciprocal inhibition, and identifies future research that will inform counseling psychology educators as this field continues to develop.

The author argues that the interest in the trauma of torture and man-made violence is a reaction to the increasingly dehumanizing and death-denying culture the authors live in.

In an attempt to decolonize Trauma Studies, a dominant mental health discourse, and to expand our understanding of trauma and post-traumatic growth, this project investigates J.M.G. Le Clézio’s The African (L’africain 2004) and Ahmadou Kourouma’s: Allah is Not Obliged 2011) (Allah n’est pas obligé 2000) and the untranslated and unfinished Quand on refuse on dit non (2004). The term “decolonizing Trauma Studies” refers to a remapping of this particular field of Cultural Theory by studying these non-Western “trauma novels”. The first critical suggestion advanced is that these authors explore th...

ABSTRACT Trauma theory and Reformed theology represent two fields of inquiry that many have proposed entail precommitments that preclude one another. Trauma theory studies and treats the devastating consequences of tragedy, whereas Reformed theology has a reputation for protecting particularly strong God-concepts no matter the psychological toll it takes. Yet, if the two fields of inquiry and their respective knowledge bases are placed into charitable conversation, prompted even to reform one another, then vistas of mutual reinforcement emerge which have not previously been significantly highl...

The question of whether prior traumatic events increase post traumatic distress or bring about habituation to living with trauma in the general (not directly exposed) population remains unresolved. We address this question by comparing and contrasting the psychological impact of a singular trauma the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks in the United States – with that of continual traumathe scores of suicide bombings that took place in Israel during the second Intifada (Palestinian uprising). As such the article also contributes to the discussion of the effect of cultural differences on post trau...
