“…Gender may have an impact on response to trauma. Sex differences in concentrations of corticosteroid receptors and catecholamine levels have been found in response to stress and trauma (Hawk, Dougall, Ursano, & Baum, 2000; Hegardoren, Lasiuk, & Coupland, 2006). Personality characteristics may also play a role.…”

“…However, the VA staff and the fields of psychiatry and psychology were underprepared to handle the enormous need. Mental health professionals, veterans, and their family members campaigned for changes in the VA and influenced dramatic revisions to the DSM-II (Hegadoren, Lasiuk, & Coupland, 2006). Specifically, the APA appointed a task force to amend the DSM-II with the goal of operationalizing a theoretically sound construct to classify traumatic stress reactions, documented first in the DSM-III (Saigh & Bremner, 1999).…”

“…This definition expanded the concept of PTSD to encompass aberrant stressors and trauma response syndromes experienced by combat survivors and civilians (e.g., victims of sexual assault, war related events, serious accidents, or disasters, as well as those with rape trauma syndrome, battered women syndrome, or abused child syndrome) (Saigh & Bremner, 1999;Hegadoren, Lasiuk, & Coupland, 2006). Due to the limited amount of empirical data on trauma research, however, researchers and clinicians drew inferences about various types of trauma from the PTSD diagnosis in the DSM-III, which primarily focused on men traumatized by combat (Turnbull, 1998).…”

Marchesani, Estee Simpkins. Similarities and Differences in Borderline and Other Symptomology Among Women Survivors of Interpersonal Trauma With and Without Complex PTSD. Master of Science (Psychology), December 2012, 87 pp., 15 tables, 4 figures, references, 151 titles.Women interpersonal chronic trauma survivors are frequently misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which often results in mistreatment. Neither PTSD nor BPD adequately describes the unique character alterations observed among those exposed to prolonged early childhood trauma. Researchers suggest survivors of interpersonal and chronic trauma should be subsumed under complex PTSD (CPTSD) (MacLean & Gallop, 2003). The primary purpose of this study was to test the validity of complex PTSD as a construct. MANOVA, ANOVA, chi-Square, and independent samples t-Tests were utilized to test hypotheses. Results revealed that women who experienced higher frequencies of trauma met more CPTSD criteria and had higher mean base rate scores on the Major Depression, Depressive, Avoidant, Masochistic, Anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline scales of the MCMI-III than women who experienced fewer traumas. Additionally, findings suggest that the Major Depression, Depressive, Anxiety, PTSD, and Borderline scales may highlight differences among women interpersonal trauma survivors who meet five of six CPTSD criteria versus those who meet full CPTSD diagnostic criteria. Lastly, the mean Borderline scale score for women who met full CPTSD diagnostic criteria was below the cutoff for personality traits.Overall, these findings provide evidence and validation for the distinction of CPTSD from BPD and PTSD.

Since the events of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina, the world has become more acutely aware of disasters and their sequelae, and efforts have been made to improve preparedness-related skills of healthcare professionals. One area that requires more skill building concerns the ability to deal with mental health-related needs. Although the appearance of postdisaster psychological symptoms in adults varies, the incidence of psychopathology in women and children is high after disasters. Children are disproportionately affected by disasters, and their special needs have only recently begun to be understood and considered in disaster-related planning. Categories of psychological effects include distress symptoms, risk behaviors, and psychiatric disorders. These issues require ongoing care, not single interventions. This article describes how maternal child health nurses can develop and use the requisite skills to effectively assist families to optimize their mental health status and prevent sequelae after a disaster.
