Full textThe purpose of this project was to create program to identify funding sources, and write a grant to fund a support group for veterans who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the Department of Veterans Affairs of, Long Beach. The literature allowed this write to find the main causes of PTSD in this case being exposed to combat, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBO), and the consequences to PTSD (substance abuse, commit suicide, experience family conflicts). This writer also found Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to be effective intervention in treating veterans with PTSD. The proposed program is aimed at providing psychoeducation to veterans and to help improve the lives of our service men and women who suffer from PTSD. The program includes group counseling, and individual counseling for veterans, family counseling. Providing the proper training will help social worker better assess and serve our veterans who return from combat with PTSD. Actual submission and/or funding of the grant were not required for the completion of this project.

Full textLa peur et le stress sont deux concepts psychologiques intimement reliés. Au niveau biologique, l'activité du système nerveux sympathique (SNS), mesuré par la réponse électrodermale (RÉD), est considéré comme un marqueur de la peur chez l'être humain. Parallèlement, la sécrétion de cortisol suite à l'activation de l'axe hypothalamo-hypophyso-adrénergique (HHA) est le marqueur le plus commun du stress. Cependant, peu d'études se sont penchées sur l'interaction entre le cortisol et la RÉD lors d'un conditionnement de peur pavlovien chez l'être humain. De plus, le conditionnement de peur est utilisé comme modèle pour étudier le Trouble de Stress Post-Traumatique (TSPT). Ce trouble est considéré comme un échec de supprimer une réaction de peur exagérée acquise lors du traumatisme. Le cortisol, en tant qu'hormone de stress principale, est considéré comme un agent qui influencerait la force des réactions de peur dans le TSPT. Cependant, il demeure incertain si le TSPT est principalement un trouble relié à la peur ou si sa symptomatologie est relié à d'autres facteurs, tels le cortisol ou des structures neurologiques qui ne sont pas associées au système de la peur.Les travaux de cette thèse suivent deux lignes parallèles. Les deux premiers chapitres présentent les résultats de l'étude de l'interaction entre la peur et le stress chez des participants en santé. Nous illustrons que l'exposition à un conditionnement de peur n'est pas suffisant pour provoquer une réponse de cortisol. De plus, nous avons observé une plus forte réactivité au conditionnement chez les femmes. Les résultats de notre deuxième étude indiquent qu'une augmentation de cortisol endogène est associé à un déclin plus rapide de la réponse au stimulus conditionné lors de l'extinction. Cette étude confirme aussi une plus forte réactivité chez les femmes. Enfin, alors que la sécrétion de cortisol est associée à l'adversité durant l'enfance et l'anxiété, la RÉD n'était pas associée aux traits de personnalité.Parallèlement à ces études, nous avons étudiés des civils exposés à un événement traumatique. Notre troisième étude montre qu'une réponse accrue de cortisol en réaction au réveil est associée à la résilience face à un événement traumatique. De plus, notre étude de l'épaisseur corticale a confirmé que, chez des individus récemment exposés à un événement traumatique, le cortex cingulaire antérieur est correlé négativement à la sévérité des symptômes. Cette étude a aussi mis en lumière deux nouvelles structures, le cortex ventro-temporal et le pôle frontal, qui sont associées à la sévérité des symptômes. Ces deux structures ajoutent une dimension cognitive et sociale à la sévérité du TSPT et sont associés plus fortement au stress qu'à la peur en soi. Elles suggèrent donc un modèle d'étude qui va au-delà du conditionnement de peur et qui intègre l'importance du stress pour mieux décrire la symptômatologie.Je conclue cette thèse en réexaminant le modèle d'interaction entre le stress et les mesures périphériques de la peur. Suivant cela, j'examine le sexe comme médiateur possible dans l'apprentissage de peur, la réactivité au stress et l'extinction de la peur. Enfin, je fais le pont entre les premières études et celles sur le TSPT pour évaluer l'usage du pur conditionnement de peur comme modèle pour décrire l'émergence et le maintient des symptômes.

Full textThis quantitative replicated study was adapted from Nielson et al. (2008). It explored the relationship between exposure to bullying and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder as experienced by Licensed Professional Counselors (L PCs), who are themselves targets or have witnessed bullying in the workplace. The research questions probed (a) incidences of workplace bullying of LPCs, (b) the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms because of workplace bullying, and (c) the manner in which sense of coherence moderates PTSD-related symptoms for counselors experiencing bullying. Online surveys were sent to LPCs via email as a means of data gathering. LPC email addresses were obtained from Medical Solution links. The instruments chosen for the study were three validated surveys. The 54 LPC participants have provided their perceptions and personal experiences on workplace bullying, post-traumatic stress disorder, and a sense of coherence. The findings showed that the LPC respondents in this study were extensively exposed to workplace bullying. It was also established that there were no significant differences in the self-reported PTSD symptoms of LPCs who have experienced workplace bullying and those who did not. Lastly, the study concluded that high, moderate, or low sense of coherence (SOC) makes no significant differences in the development of PTSD-linked aftereffects to bullying. These findings add to the body of knowledge concerning bullying of licensed professional counselors, its aftermath, and any long-lasting effects of post-traumatic stress.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Posttraumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) has been researched and written about since its recognition as a disorder in the DSM-III in 1980. This study reviews the literature on PTSD and cognitive behavioural therapies, designed for its treatment. It covers the historical aspects of how the syndrome came to be identified, defined and recognized as a discrete disorder. The neurobiological features of the disorder, its cognitive processes, particularly those of dissociation and traumatic memory are dealt with. Cognitive behavioural therapies are reviewed, these include: relaxation; hypnosis; exposure; eye movement desensitization reprocessing; anxiety management training; cognitive therapy and combination therapies. Further areas for research are suggested based on the lacunae that have yet to be explored with regard to cognitive behavioral therapy treatments.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Posttraumatiesestressversteuring is nagevors en bespreek vandat dit in 1980 in die DSM-III as 'n versteuring herken is. Hierdie studie gee 'n oorsig van die literatuur oor PTSVen kognitiewe gedragsterapeutiese, ontwerp om dit te behandel. Dit gee 'n historiese oorsig van hoe dit geïdentifiseer, beskryf en gedefinieër is as 'n spesifieke gedragsversteuring. Die neurobiologiese implikasies van die versteuring, die kognitiewe kenmerke, veral die van dissosiasie en traumatiese geheue word ondersoek. Kognitiewe gedragsterapieword beskryf en sluit die volgende in: ontspanning; blootstelling, oogbewegingdesensiteringherprosering; angsbeheeropleiding; kognitiewe terapie en kombinasie terapie. Verdere areas vir navorsing word voorgestel en is gebasseer op die gebrekke wat bestaan in kognitiewebedragsterapie.
