What Is <bb>>Psychologicalb>bb>> Trauma?

Although I am writing about <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> trauma, it is also important to keep in mind that stress reactions are clearly physiological as well.
There may or may not be bodily injury, but <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> trauma is coupled with physiological upheaval that plays a leading role in the long-range effects" (p.14).

<bb>>Psychologicalb>bb>> Impact of Circumcision

This idea may be part of a <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> defence mechanism called projection, the process of attributing feelings to others that belong to oneself.

Elder Abuse and Neglect: In Search of Solutions

Elder abuse is the infliction of physical, emotional, or <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> harm on an older adult.
The first and most important step toward preventing elder abuse is to recognize that no one—of whatever age—should be subjected to violent, abusive, humiliating, or neglectful behavior.
When caregivers are thrust into the demands of daily care for an elder without appropriate training and without information about how to balance the needs of the older person with their own needs, they frequently experience intense frustration and anger that can lead to a range of abusive behaviors.

OMHAS Trauma Policy

Treatment programs designed specifically for survivors of childhood trauma are consistent on several points: the need for respect, information, connection, and hope for clients; the importance of recognizing the adaptive function of “symptoms;” and the need to work collaboratively in a person-directed and empowering way with survivors of abuse.
When <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> trauma is not recognized or addressed, people may be unintentionally traumatized or re-traumatized by the agencies and providers trying to serve them.
The symptoms that are adaptations to the effects of <bb>>psychologicalb>bb>> trauma are sometimes not recognized or, if recognized, are not associated with prior trauma by survivors or clinicians.

Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror by Judith Herman
It provides a solid foundation for beginning and experienced clinicians who are interested in treating traumatized patients....It broadens the reader's perceptions of psychopathology and provides a much-needed lens for understanding both catastrophic trauma and the inevitable, pervasive, smaller--but common--trauma that goes unrecognized in everyday life.
This is one of the first volumes to address PTSD treatment from a non-unitary perspective, acknowledging that traumatic responses exist on a continuum and presenting treatment goals that apply to all aspects of the disorder.

Dear

I am writing to ask that the American <bb>>Psychologicalb>bb>> Society form a working group and issue a statement about research findings regarding reported "repressed memories" of abuse, so-called "memory recovery therapy," and the hazards of suggestion in psychotherapy.
If the APS issues a position statement on research findings about the theory of "memory repression" and the use of "memory recovery" techniques, the American <bb>>Psychologicalb>bb>> Association and American Psychiatric Association will be forced to update their own statements and to issue guidelines similar to those issued by the Royal College.
Such 'memory recovery techniques' may include drug-mediated interviews, hypnosis, regression therapies, guided imagery, 'body memories', literal dream interpretation and journaling." The failure of American organizations to issue equivalent guidelines silently condones the continued use of these harmful, discredited techniques in the U.S. and the continued abuse of clients and their families by irresponsible therapists.
