“…Korver-Nieberg et al, 2014;Velikonja et al, 2015). In the current study, trauma was also associated with attachment as would be expected from existing research (Murphy et al, 2014;Riggs, 2010). The consequences of early trauma histories and attachment difficulties, such as difficulties in interpersonal relationships, problems regulating affect and negative beliefs about the self and others have been implicated in psychological models of the development of psychosis (Korver-Nieberg et al, 2015).…”

“…(1998) is a valid, reliable, retrospective assessment of adverse childhood experiences, with a good test-retest reliability and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .88) (Murphy et al, 2014). For the purposes of this study, a 20-item ACE questionnaire, based on the ACE criteria was used.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the efficacy and feasibility of a trauma-informed screening for ACEs among individuals in a substance use disorder recovery program. Method: Individual interviews, questionnaires, and postinterview survey and reflections were used in this cross-sectional clinical translation project. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographics, ACE scores, protective childhood experiences, self-reported diagnoses, and postintervention survey data. Postinterview reflections were reviewed and grouped into common ideas as shared by participants, as well as interesting impressions, insights, and responses to the interviews. Results: Thirty clients participated in the interview process. Among the 29 participants who completed the questionnaires, all reported at least one ACE, and 82.8% reported six or more ACEs. In addition, 96.6% reported experiencing more than four protective factors. Twelve (40%) clients were referred for further mental health counseling after the interviews. Notable findings from the interviews were the general lack of awareness of the relationship between ACEs and current substance use disorder among participants. Gaining knowledge about the impact of ACEs on their recovery seemed to provide a sense of relief and a feeling that they were “normal.” Conclusions: The trauma-informed care approach is intended to promote mindfulness regarding the effect of ACEs on substance abuse in this population. Screening for ACEs is necessary if effective interventions are to be provided, with the goal of improving client outcomes.

“…Empirical studies examining U responses to the AAI indicated that these individuals are vulnerable to increased psychopathology (Sroufe, Egeland, Carlson, & Collins, 2005;Ward, Lee, & Polan, 2006), including difficulties in emotional regulation (Benoit, Bouthillier, Moss, Rousseau, & Brunet, 2010;Cloitre, Stovall-McClough, Zorbas, & Charuvastra, 2008;Creasey, 2002), and likely to have experienced high levels of adverse childhood experiences (Murphy et al, 2014). They have increased levels of PD (Bailey, Moran, & Pederson, 2007;Stovall-McClough & Cloitre, 2006;Thomson & Jaque, 2012a) and they are frequently diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (Stovall-McClough & Cloitre, 2006).…”

Unresolved mourning, supernatural beliefs and dissociation: a mediation analysis

Unresolved mourning is marked by disorganized behavior and states of mind. In this study, we speculated that pathological dissociation would mediate the effects of unresolved mourning on supernatural beliefs. This hypothesis was determined based on findings that indicate an association between higher levels of dissociation, stronger beliefs in the supernatural and unresolved mourning. We examined two groups of participants, one classified as non-unresolved (non-U) (n = 56) and the other as unresolved (n = 26) (U) with respect to past loss/trauma as measured by the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). Two self-report instruments were administered to measure supernatural beliefs and dissociation. As hypothesized, the multivariate analysis of variance indicated mean differences between the two groups. The unresolved group had greater belief in the supernatural and more pathological dissociative processes. The mediation analysis demonstrated that pathological dissociation fully mediated the effects of unresolved mourning on supernatural beliefs.
