Major Psychotrauma and social stress–risk factors for the unfavorable course of paranoid schizophrenia
European Psychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: T. Udristoiu, Ion Udristoiu, F. Militaru, S. Ristea, A.g. Vilcea, M. PirlogAbstract:Introduction Recent studies in the neurobiology of schizophrenia highlighted the role of neuropsychoendocrine activations as a consequence of psychostress followed by the activation of the HPA axis with an excess of endogenous cortisol. The relation endogenous cortisol–glutamatergic hyperactivation enhances the excito-toxic mechanisms and the cortical-subcortical alterations in schizophrenia. Method We conducted a retrospective study on 40 patients, with ages between 25 and 55 years, admitted in the university clinic of Craiova between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 for paranoid schizophrenia according to ICD-10 criteria and with positive history of Psychotrauma and physical abuse in childhood and adolescence. Results The frequency of Psychotraumas, social stress and physical abuse in our group was significantly higher in women (63.33%), in patients with urban residence (80.00%) and age group 36–45 years (46.67). There was a pattern of residual defectuality reflected by positive symptoms (83.33%), alcohol abuse (80.00%), aggressive behavior (66.67%) and suicide attempts (30.00%). The poor course with minimal social functioning (GAFS 9 hospitalizations; 43.33%), cognitive deficit (MMSE Conclusions. Psychotrauma and physical abuse in childhood and adolescence and during the course of paranoid schizophrenia constitute a risk factor for a poor outcome with cognitive deterioration, aggressive and suicidal behavior that call for prophylactic measures and qualified psycho-social interventions associated to the pharmacological treatments.

EJPT abstract book for Special issue: Psychotrauma update.
European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2015Co-Authors: Miranda OlffAbstract:On October 9, 2014, the second SCEM symposium on psychological traumatization was organized in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, chaired by Robbert-Jan Verkes, MD, PhD, and Anton van Balkom MD, PhD. The symposium was attended by over 100 participants: psychiatrists, medical doctors, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses. This second symposium on the consequences of Psychotrauma was organized because the first one focusing on the aspecific relationship between Psychotrauma and psychopathology had been very successful. Apparently there is large interest in Psychotrauma in the Netherlands (Olff & Vermetten, 2013), possibly explained by the trauma history of the country (Vermetten & Olff, 2013). At the first SCEM symposium, various subjects were presented ranging from the neurobiological sequelae of Psychotrauma to evidence-based treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the findings of the government-installed research committee on sexual abuse in the Dutch Roman Catholic church. In this second symposium, we focused on several topics relevant to both research and clinical practice. The first lecture addressed diagnostic issues of PTSD in recent history (Vermetten, 2015). The complex relationship between Psychotrauma and psycho-active substance dependence was presented by Wim Van den Brink (2015). The question whether PTSD could be viewed as a memory disorder rather than an anxiety disorder was the topic of Hein Van Marle (2015). Miranda Olff presented research into the effect of intranasal oxytocin in recently traumatized as well as in PTSD patients (Olff et al., 2015). Ramon Lindauer (2015) went into the clinically interesting question of whether a child should receive imaginary exposure to Psychotrauma for treatment as soon as possible or whether it would be better to stabilize the psychological situation first. Theo Ingenhoven (2015) commented on the treatment of PTSD-symptoms related to abuse and neglect in early youth within the psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder. Finally, Gert-Jan Hendriks, MD, PhD, presented data on the cognitive enhancement of exposure outcome with d-cycloserine in PTSD (Hendriks & de Kleine, 2015). The abstracts of these keynote lectures are presented in this issue.
