“…Both have shown success in treating PTSD but there is a paucity of rigorous published clinical outcome trials. Hypnotherapy has been used to treat combat stress reactions 88 (cited in Sbordone 83 ), but has limitations because some patients are resistant to hypnosis for fear of losing control, and others may respond by developing dissociative states 89 (cited in Sbordone 83 ). Brom et al 90 conducted one of the few controlled trials comparing hypnosis, psychodynamic psychotherapy and desensitisation approaches with waiting list controls.…”

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was ®rst recognised by psychiatric international classi®cation systems in 1980 and a wealth of research and treatment literature has developed since. This paper provides a review of PTSD and Spinal Cord Injuries. A brief history of the disorder is provided before descriptions of the de®ning characteristics, assessment and dierential diagnoses. The paper provides an overview of the incidence and prevalence of PTSD and risk factors within the general population, before considering both veteran and non-veteran research within spinal cord injuries. Pharmacological and psychological approaches to the treatment of PTSD are also discussed. The review closes with recommendations for future research into the prevalence and treatment of PTSD in spinal cord injuries.

“…Le traitement visera une désensibilisation graduelle systématique aux stimuli anxiogènes par des techniques d'exposition directe, d'exposition en imagination ou de désensibilisation par mouvements oculaires (Shapiro, 1989). Foa et ses collaborateurs précisent les deux conditions nécessaires à un traitement d'exposition afin de désactiver la structure de peur, telle qu'ils la conceptualisent, et ainsi permettre une améliora-tion clinique des symptômes: 1) l'exposition à de l'information pertinente permettant d'activer la structure de peur (donc des stimuli, des réponses ou une signification reliés à l'événement traumatique et qui sont enregistrés dans la structure), et 2) l'exposition à de l'information cognitive et émotive incompatible avec celle qui est enregistrée, ce qui permettra de modifier la structure.…”

La nécessité de développer des traitements efficaces pour les nombreuses victimes de violence et de catastrophes rend incontournable la compréhension des mécanismes de développement, de maintien et de résorption du trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT). L'article présente les modèles cognitifs-comportementaux du TSPT les plus influents et en effectue une brève analyse critique. Les modèles écologiques sélectionnés sont ceux de Mowrer (1960), de Foa et al. (1989), de Jones et Barlow (1990), de Chemtob et al. (1988) et de Janoff-Bulman (1985). Ces modèles sont comparés entre eux et des pistes de réflexion sont formulées.The necessity of developping efficient treatment for the numerous victims of violence and catastrophes render essential the understanding of the mechanisms of development, maintainance and resorption of the Posttraumatice Stress Disorder (PTSD). Consequently, this article presents the most influential behavior and cognitive models followed by a brief critical analysis. The etiological models chosen are those of Mowrer (1960), Foa and al. (1989), Jones and Barlow (1990), Chemtob and al. (1988) and Janoff-Bulman (1985). Finally these models are compared and discussed

“…Some survivors may be put at heightened risk for adverse outcomes as a result of such early interventions. Fourth, there is no evidence that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) (Shapiro, 1989) as an early mental health intervention following mass violence and disasters is a treatment of choice over other approaches.…”

The purpose of this study was to review state disaster mental health response plans and actual disaster mental health responses to examine not only adherence to identified disaster mental health best practices, but also to highlight procedures being performed during deployment of disaster mental health response teams. This research study was developed to gain a thorough understanding of disaster mental health response in both the planning and implementation phases. Interviews with three state disaster mental health officials were completed and a review of each state's disaster mental health state plan was completed. The study investigated the A phenomenological approach was used to identify themes in disaster mental health response that should be considered for future disaster mental health planning. Each state's disaster mental health plan varied in compliance to identified best practices; however, it was noted that all states were more compliant to best practices in their response than in the written state disaster mental health state plan.Several themes for disaster mental health responses were identified that were not previously fully addressed in the published best practices. Such themes addressed issues in disaster mental health teams and training, local disaster mental health response, communication, research and data collection, relationships with external organizations, and long-term recovery.
