Interdisciplinary Education Series Edited by B. D. Perry Adapted from: "Maltreated Children: Experience, Brain Development and the Next Generation" by Bruce D. Perry Introduction "Mama was in the bedroom. They was all fighting. Mama kicked at Thomas. He grabbed up a knife. And then cut Mama. There was blood all over the floor. I should have kilt him dead. Then we went outside and there was police. My sister got to push the siren. Mama is in heaven ." Six year old child describing the murder of her mother as she colored a picture of her family - with her mother as an angel in heaven Each year in United States more than five million children experience some extreme traumatic event. These include natural disasters (e.g., tornadoes, floods, hurricanes), motor vehicle accidents, life threatening illness and associated painful medical procedures (e.g., severe burns, cancer), physical abuse, sexual assault, witnessing domestic or community violence, kidnapping and sudden death of a parent. More than 40 % of these children will develop some form of chronic neuropsychiatric problem that can significantly impair their emotional, academic and social functioning. The majority of these neuropsychiatric problems are classified as Anxiety Disorders, with the most common being Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Extractions: Return to Mnemosyne Is Traumatic Memory Special? Note: An edited version of this article appeared in Current Directions in Psychological Science The current debate over false memories arises in part from a concern that certain psychotherapeutic strategies, sometimes known as recovered memory therapy, may encourage patients to reconstruct inaccurate mental representations of their life histories. Recovered memory therapy, in turn, is predicated on the trauma-memory argument that memories of traumatic events have special properties that distinguish them from ordinary memories of the sort usually studied in the laboratory (Kihlstrom, 1997). One major consequence of this assumption is to limit the degree to which principles of ordinary memory function including the idea that illusory memories can be created through suggestion and inference can be generalized from the laboratory to the clinic. In this article, we examine some of the most prominent claims that traumatic memories have "special" properties reflecting the distinctive ways in which traumatic events are represented and processed. Background: Hysteria and War Neurosis The origins of the notion that traumatic memory is special are to be found in the psychiatry of the late 19th century. For example, Janet (1889) argued that traumatic stress induces interferes with the integration of the traumatic experience with the ongoing stream of conscious experience, thought, and action.

Extractions: Carolyn Chambers Clark, ARNP, EdD John, a soldier involved in the Persian Gulf War, has nightmares about the firefight that cost him his leg. Susan, a battered wife, has had difficulty falling asleep and frequent suicidal ideas, and has lost all interest in work and other parts of her life for the past three months. Ira, a victim of the Oklahoma City bombing, swears at the nurses caring for him, has difficulty trusting authority figures and public institutions, and sees no future for himself. Janet, a rape victim, resists recounting the details of her attack and reports numbing of emotions and persistent symptoms of sleeplessness and irritability for more than a month. Even people who have had a miscarriage or experienced job loss may suffer from PTSD. At first glance, combat veterans, hurricane survivors, and nurses seem a very divergent group. What makes them similar? They all have at least one common experience: They have all been rendered helpless in a situation of great danger. While each survivor is unique in history and coping strategies, they share a similar and fairly predictable set of psychological and physiological reactions that identifies PTSD.

Extractions: What to Look for and How to Choose a Therapist One of the primary roles of Sidran Foundation's PsychTrauma Information Service is to assist people who have been traumatized in finding various kinds of help. "Treatment" is usually sought when the behavioral adaptations (usually called "symptoms") typical of trauma survivors become disabling, interfering with work, home life, recreation, sleep, parenting and other aspects of daily function. Our aim is not only to help people feel better and function better, but also to help them learn to be informed and empowered consumers in general and consumers of mental health services, in particular. We hope trauma survivors find that taking appropriate and well-considered action to improve one's life is made a little easier by the information on this page. If you are currently in crisis: The process of choosing a helpful therapist takes some time, thought, and focus. If you are currently in a crisis, or are worried that you might hurt or kill yourself or someone else, please contact your community's mental health center, hospital emergency room, or crisis hotline. When the crisis has passed, this brochure will help you organize the task of finding a therapist for on-going treatment. What is Good Trauma Therapy? A Good Trauma Therapist?
