Previous research indicates a strong association between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychopathology, and linguistic indices, but most studies have only compared one traumatic and one neutral life event. Referring to the Dual Representation Theory for PTSD we investigated the narrative representation of two negative life events, with and without current emotional impact in a non-clinical population. Twenty-five subjects wrote detailed narratives of the two types of life events. Lexical categories were coded and compared between the different scripts. Life events with current emotional impact were characterised by a greater use of emotional words, especially secondary emotionally words. Proprioceptive words were more often used and there were more errors when present tense was employed. Additionally, a greater number of sentences were found in these scripts. Our data suggest that in healthy subjects a relationship exists between narrative peculiarities and the current emotional impact of autobiographical memory shaped by negative life events.

“…Impairment of the VAM system will result in an increase in memory intrusions and decrease in conscious memory for the event. This decrease in conscious memory is characteristic of trauma victims diagnosed with PTSD (Brewin 2007;Jones et al 2007). In contrast, an impaired SAM system will result in a decrease in memory intrusions (Brewin 2001;Holmes et al 2004).…”

“…In der Tat zeigen Patienten mit akuter oder posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung oft große Schwierigkeiten, kohä-rente autobiografische Erinnerungen des traumatischen Ereignisses auf Befragung hin willentlich zu schildern [31,50]. Desorganisation und Fragmentierung sind bei einer willentlichen Erinnerung von anderen unangenehmen, aber nichttraumatischen Vorfällen hingegen deutlicher geringer oder fehlen gar völlig [47].…”

Intact neuropsychological and neurobiological memory systems are precondition to any coherence and continuity of self structure during biography. Autobiographical memory is the ontogenetically most recent and most highly structured part of the episodic memory together with the semantic memory comprising the declarative or explicit memory that again has to be differentiated from various subsystems of the implicit memory. Autobiographical memory is paradigmatically impaired in dissociative disorders. A survey on epidemiological, clinical, course of illness-related, and etiopathogenetic characteristics of dissociative amnesia is given. A broad differential diagnosis has to be taken into account. As the clinical concept of dissociation is considered first and foremost within a context of trauma, the relation of trauma and memory in general, of PTSD and trauma memory in special is outlined.Zusammenfassung: Funktionstüchtige neuropsychologische und neurobiologische Gedächtnissysteme sind die Voraussetzung für die Kohärenz und Kontinuität einer Selbststruktur in der biographischen Entwicklung. Das autobiographische Gedächtnis ist die ontogenetisch jüngste und strukturell höchste Stufe des episodischen Gedächtnisses, das zusammen mit dem semantischen Gedächtnis das explizite oder deklarative Gedächtnis umfasst und von mehreren Subsystemen des impliziten Gedächtnisses unterschieden wird. Das autobiographische Gedächtnis ist speziell in dissoziativen Störungen beeinträchtigt. Die dissoziative Amnesie wird epidemiologisch, klinisch, verlaufsorientiert und ätiopathogene-tisch dargestellt. Eine breite Differenzialdiagnose gegenüber anderen psychischen, neurologischen und internistischen Störungen ist vorzunehmen. Da der klinische Dissoziationsbegriff stark in einen traumatologischen Bedingungskontext gestellt wird, schließt sich eine Darstellung des Zusammenhangs von Trauma und traumatischer Erinnerung im Allgemeinen und PTSD und Traumagedächtnis im Speziellen an.
