Trauma-induced dissociative amnesia in World War I combat soldiers. II. Treatment dimensions.
Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 1999Co-Authors: Paul K. Brown, Onno Van Der Hart, Mariétte GraaflandAbstract:Objective: This is the second part of a study of posttraumatic amnesia in World War I (WW I) soldiers. It moves beyond diagnostic validation of posttraumatic amnesia (PTA), to examine treatment findings, and relates these to contemporary treatment of dissociative amnesia, including treatment of victims of civilian trauma (e.g. childhood sexual abuse).Method: Key WW I studies are surveyed which focus on the treatment of PTA and traumatic memories. The dissociation-integration and repression-Abreaction models are contrasted.Results: Descriptive evidence is cited in support of preferring Myers' and McDougalls' dissociation-integration treatment approach over Brown's repression-Abreaction model.Conclusion: Therapeutic findings in this paper complement diagnostic data from the first report. Although effective treatment includes elements of both the dissociative-integrative and abreactive treatment approaches, cognitive integration of dissociated traumatic memories and personality functions is primary, while em...

Using context to treat traumatized children.
The Psychoanalytic study of the child, 2009Co-Authors: Lenore C. TerrAbstract:When treating childhood psychic trauma, context means "putting a perspective to the terrifying experience"--"seeing it in a new light", one might say, or understanding its magnitude and meaning. Of three essential mechanisms behind a young person's psychological recovery from a stress disorder--Abreaction, context, and correction-context is the most reflective, cognitive, and conscious of these processes; while Abreaction is primarily emotive, and correction is primarily behavioral (involving real or fantasied action). Because context, newly introduced by this author to the psychiatric literature (Terr, 2003), is the most recent and the least well understood of the three mechanisms, it will be the sole focus here.

Relationships between psychological adjustment,coping style and quality of life among breast cancer survivors
Chinese Journal of Public Health, 2013Co-Authors: Huang Xue-weiAbstract:Objective To explore relationships between psychological adjustment,coping style and quality of life among breast cancer survivors.Methods With matched case-control method,128 female breast cancer patients were randomly recruited in three grade A class III hospitals from August 2008 to August 2010 in Guangzhou city,Guangdong province.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationships between psychological adjustment,coping style and quality of life in the patients.Results In case group,there were inverse correlations between physical well-being and fantacy/Abreaction and between psychologic well-being and fancy avoidance,oppression(P0.05 for all).In control group,there were a significant inverse correlation between social well-being and Abreaction(P0.05) and significant positive correlations between social well-being and avoidance oppression(P0.05) and between psycholic well-being and yielding(P0.05).Conclusion There are correlations between coping styles and quality of life among different breast cancer patients.The long-term breast cancer survivors are more likely to have proper positive adjustment and coping style.

1 Abreaction Re-evaluated
2014Co-Authors: Onno Van Der Hart, Ph. D, Paul BrownAbstract:Contemporary clinicians working in the field of multiple personality disorder (MPD) generally agree that pathogenic traumatic memories are at the root of this dissociative disorder. Examination of contemporary studies, however, shows that diagnostic and therapeutic conceptualization remains muddled and frequently contradictory. This confusion stems back to Breuer and Freud's "Studies of Hysteria," in which they used two contradictory models concerning the nature and treatment of traumatic memories. The first model was in terms of dissociation and integration, processes which already had a French pedigree (particularly with Pierre Janet), and the second was their own model which they developed in terms of the principle of psychological constancy and Abreaction. In the literature on trauma since Breuer and Freud, e.g., studies on post-traumatic stress during and after World Wars I and II and the Vietnam war, different authors have emphasized either one or both models. The present authors critically re-evaluate Abreaction and advocate the dissociation-integration model as the basis for further conceptualization, discussing the role o
