| | Trauma center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Trauma centers were established as the medical establishment realized that such injuries often require immediate and complex surgery to save the patient. | | | Surgeons are the main component in trauma centers that save lives through surgery and inpatient critical care. | | | An hospital (public or private) can have a specialized service (service spécialisé d'accueil et de traitement des urgences) only if it can already take care of the most probable trauma and disease in classical hospitalization: resuscitation unit, general and internal medicine, cardio-vascular medicine, pediatrics, anesthesiology-resuscitation, orthopedic surgery and viscus surgery, including gynaelogical surgery. |

| | Recovered Memories of Sexual Abuse: Scientific Research & Scholarly Resources |
| | From this perspective, traumatic memory loss may be understood as a form of avoidance conditioning, whereby access to memory is punished by the negative affect that accompanies the recall, thereby motivating the development of memory-inhibiting mechanisms. | | | Although their ideas about the underlying mechanisms are different, Terr, van der Kolk and Whitfield all agree on the outcome: Memories of trauma, or at least of certain forms of trauma, are encoded by processes, such as repression and dissociation, that make them difficult to retrieve as coherent verbal narratives. | | | The purpose of such exploration is not the forensic documentation of facts, but the construction of an integrated, personally meaningful narrative that helps free the patient from the persistent noxious effects of traumatic events in the distant past. |
