Many Vietnam veterans returned home to a troubled period of readjustment from their wartime experiences. Their emotional problems were characterized initially as post-Vietnam syndrome. It took mainstream psychiatry till the mid-1980’s to finally codify symptoms that have been associated with returning combat veterans since time immemorial. What had been dubbed "homesickness" after the Civil War, shell shock in WWI, and combat neurosis during WWII, was finally recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as an anxiety disorder in its own right, and termed post traumatic stress disorder PTSD can also be brought on by non-combat acts of brutality or violence toward enemy combatants or civilians. There are many PTSD vets that have never been aggressive towards others, but who may suffer feelings of profound guilt by mere association with such acts of violence. In any case, PTSD is clearly triggered by violence in warfare, and is therefore an outcome of the reality of war, a reality that is far different and more horrible than the portrayal of war by politicians and entertainment media.

Email: jmv@mail.rit.edu Keywords: Psychological Trauma, intervention, pathogenic John M. Violanti Department of Social and Preventive Medicine School of Medicine and Biomedical sciences State University of NY at Buffalo, NY 14214 USA Abstract Posttraumatic intervention protocols have come a long way in policing. This article challenges reliance on pathogenic intervention approaches which may script police officers into traumatic symptoms. By scripting , we mean that pathogenic methods, rigid techniques, and strong group participation can cognitively re-structure an individual's perceptions about trauma symptoms. A pathogenic model that not only assumes trauma symptomatology but also provides an immediate, rigidly defined remedy is thus very attractive to many police agencies. These approaches may well overwhelm the personal positive strength, resiliency, and potential of officers for growth and trauma resolution.

NCPTSD Topics Facts General What is PTSD Overview Epidemiology Problems Treatment Veterans Disasters Specific Publications Documents Video Assessment About NCPTSD NCPTSD's Website Most Popular Pages: What is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder? A National Center for PTSD Fact Sheet Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the person's daily life. PTSD is marked by clear biological changes as well as psychological symptoms. PTSD is complicated by the fact that it frequently occurs in conjunction with related disorders such as depression, substance abuse, problems of memory and cognition, and other problems of physical and mental health. The disorder is also associated with impairment of the person's ability to function in social or family life, including occupational instability, marital problems and divorces, family discord, and difficulties in parenting. Understanding PTSD PTSD is not a new disorder. There are written accounts of similar symptoms that go back to ancient times, and there is clear documentation in the historical medical literature starting with the Civil War, when a PTSD-like disorder was known as "Da Costa's Syndrome." There are particularly good descriptions of posttraumatic stress symptoms in the medical literature on combat veterans of World War II and on Holocaust survivors.

Explains how PTSD develops in women survivors of domestic violence. http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Herman/herman-con3.html

Judith Herman Interview : Conversations with History; Institute of International Studies, UC Berkeley Photo by Jane Scherr Page 3 of 4 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder So you focused on trauma, especially in women and children. Help us understand what Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is. Okay. Well, I can tell you about what it says in the DSM-IV. Which is the official Bible of the Psychiatric Association. Fear is something that we're all biologically wired to experience when we're in danger. We share this with other animals. When we perceive danger, we alert, we startle, we look around and figure out, do a quick appraisal of the situation, and we either fight or flee. That's being revised now by some researchers looking more at women who say that "fight or flight" is a little bit more the male response. "Tend and befriend" there's a tendency to kind of huddle with one's kind that you observe more in females. But, okay, fight or flight: there's a whole biology of fear that's involved. This is often the case of women and children who are in domestic situations where the cycle goes on and on. I think it's true of people in any situation of coercive control, whether you're talking about a hostage situation that goes on for a long time, whether you're talking about domestic violence or sexual child abuse ... some religious cults have this same captivity kind of situation. And then, of course, the political situations of concentration camps or political prisoners.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder European Description The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders World Health Organization, Geneva, 1992 F43.1 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder This arises as a delayed and/or protracted response to a stressful event or situation (either short- or long-lasting) of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature, which is likely to cause pervasive distress in almost anyone (e.g. natural or man-made disaster, combat, serious accident, witnessing the violent death of others, or being the victim of torture, terrorism, rape, or other crime). Predisposing factors such as personality traits (e.g. compulsive, asthenic) or previous history of neurotic illness may lower the threshold for the development of the syndrome or aggravate its course, but they are neither necessary nor sufficient to explain its occurrence. Typical symptoms include episodes of repeated reliving of the trauma in intrusive memories ("flashbacks") or dreams, occurring against the persisting background of a sense of "numbness" and emotional blunting, detachment from other people, unresponsiveness to surroundings, anhedonia, and avoidance of activities and situations reminiscent of the trauma. Commonly there is fear and avoidance of cues that remind the sufferer of the original trauma. Rarely, there may be dramatic, acute bursts of fear, panic or aggression, triggered by stimuli arousing a sudden recollection and/or re-enactment of the trauma or of the original reaction to it.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top (PTSD) may occur soon after a major trauma, or can be delayed for more than six months after the event. When it occurs soon after the trauma it usually resolves after three months, but some people experience a longer-term form of the condition, which can last for many years. PTSD can occur at any age and can follow a natural disaster such as flood or fire, or events such as war or imprisonment, assault, domestic abuse, or rape. The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in the U.S. may have caused PTSD in some people who were involved, in people who witnessed the disaster, and in people who lost relatives and friends. These kinds of events produce stress in anyone, but not everyone develops PTSD. We do not know what causes PTSD, but psychological, genetic, physical, and social factors are involved. PTSD alters the body’s response to stress by affecting stress hormones and neurotransmitters (chemicals that transmit information between our nerves). Previous exposure to trauma may increase the risk, which suggests that this kind of a reaction may be a learned response.
