Study Notes
Effects of Trauma on Children and Complex PTSD
- Traumatized children may struggle with planning, problem-solving, and organizing, as well as learning from mistakes, due to being "stuck" in their brainstem or limbic system.
- Early trauma can lead to a preoccupation with school and performance as a means to earn love.
- Caregivers play a crucial role in a child's self-concept and identity development, with early trauma potentially leading to a deep sense of being "bad" or "unwanted."
- Complex PTSD develops following exposure to prolonged or repetitive events of an extremely threatening or horrific nature, with additional symptoms beyond those of PTSD, such as problems in affect regulation and difficulties in sustaining relationships.
- The DSM-5 criteria for PTSD include exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence, along with specific symptoms and impairment lasting for at least one month.
- The ICD-11 criteria for Complex PTSD include exposure to threatening or horrific events, re-experiencing, deliberate avoidance, and persistent perceptions of heightened current threat, along with severe problems in affect regulation and difficulties in sustaining relationships.
- Continuous exposure to traumatic events is a key feature of Complex PTSD, whereas PTSD can result from a single traumatic event.
- Complex PTSD is characterized by alterations in the perception of self and difficulties in relationships.
- Bottom-up therapies focus on the body and sensory experiences, while top-down approaches focus on cognitive and psychological processes.
- Examples of strategies related to trauma and stressor-related disorders include dissociative disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- DSM-5 Criteria for PTSD include specific ways of exposure to traumatic events, such as direct experience, witnessing the event, or learning about it happening to a close family member or friend.
- The ICD-11 International Classification of Disease for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics is the international standard for recording and reporting mortality and morbidity data.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Assessment and Treatment
- DSM-5 Criteria outlines the conditions for PTSD, including exposure to death, injury, or sexual violence and associated symptoms
- Challenges in PTSD assessment include diverse traumatic events, gathering information without detailed questions, and individuals not meeting Criterion A
- Prevalence of PTSD is low among those who experience traumatic events, with sexual assault being a notable risk factor
- Certain occupations, such as first responders and military personnel, have an increased risk for PTSD
- Moral injury, resulting from events violating moral beliefs, is a distinct aspect of PTSD and may lead to guilt, shame, and loss of trust
