Self in the darkness seem to me no realer than a dream: Experiences of living with alopecia universalis across two cultures
Landscapes of Trauma: The Psychology of the Battlefield
Integrating trauma studies with historical research and social psychology, Landscapes of Trauma examines a range of battlefields from across history, including Waterloo, the Battle of Sedan, the Battle of the Ebro and the Battle of Normandy, to bring to light what these battlefields say about our collective and individual psyches. Hunt explores how war shapes the nature of trauma, not only by its innate horror but also by the historical and socie…
Place responsiveness: IPA walking interviews to explore participants’ responses to natural disasters
Over the last few years, walking interviews have gained the attention of a variety of disciplines and are considered an effective way to conduct interviews under particular circumstances. In this study, we provide specific examples of the benefits of using walking interviews in the aftermath of an earthquake. Central Italy has recently experienced two significant earthquakes, L’Aquila in 2009 and Amatrice in 2016. In total, more than 600 people w…

The Psychological Well-Being—Post-Traumatic Changes Questionnaire (PWB-PTCQ): Reliability and validity
The Psychological Well-Being Post-Traumatic Changes Questionnaire (PWB-PTCQ) is an 18 item self-report measure to assess perceived changes in psychological well-being following traumatic events. The aim was to test its psychometric properties. Across three samples, evidence is provided for a single factor structure (invariant across clinical and general populations), high internal consistency (alpha greater than .87), six month stability, increme…

Memory, War and Trauma
Many millions of people are affected by the trauma of war. Psychologists have a good understanding of how experiences of war impact on memory, but the significance of external environmental influences is often disregarded. Memory, War and Trauma focuses on our understanding of the psychosocial impact of war in its broadest sense. Nigel C. Hunt argues that, in order to understand war trauma, it is critical to develop an understanding not only of t…
Coping with traumatic memories: Second World War veterans' experiences of social support in relation to the narrative coherence of war memories
This paper reports a qualitative study that used narrative analysis to explore how social support helps many armed-services veterans cope with traumatic memories. The analysis was carried out on two levels, that of narrative form (level of narrative coherence), argued to be indicative of reconciliation, and narrative content (themes of social support), which allowed exploration of the types of social support experienced by veterans with coherent,…
Developing a model of narrative analysis to investigate the role of social support in coping with traumatic war memories
Within clinical and health psychology, narrative is used to understand how people make meaning of events that challenge one’s believes about the self and the world e.g. the diagnosis of an illness or the experience of a traumatic event. This paper introduces a model of narrative analysis that can provide insight into the ways in which people make meaning of traumatic events and the types of resources that aid or hinder this process. The model, an…
Perceived Need for Spiritual and Religious Treatment Options in Chronically Ill Individuals
The objective of the study was to examine the desire for spiritual and religious treatment options in chronically ill adults. Email interview data ( N = 12) generated themes for religion, spirituality, and desired treatments. The resultant questionnaire data ( N = 83) analysed the popularity of treatments. Thirty-five wide-ranging spiritual and religious treatment options were identified for use in the questionnaire; 47 per cent of the sample was…
A Practical Guide to the E-Mail Interview
The e-mail interview is a novel technique that has a number of advantages over traditional interviewing, but there are also some disadvantages. In this methodological article, the authors review the issues surrounding the use of the e-mail interview, providing a concrete example of its use, that of interviewing people with alopecia areata regarding psychological issues associated with the disorder. The authors show in the article that the e-mail …

Dependence on Computer Games by Adolescents
As computer game playing is a popular activity among adolescents, a questionnaire study was undertaken with 387 adolescents (12-16 years of age) to establish their "dependence" using a scale adapted from the DSM-III-R criteria for pathological gambling. Analysis indicated that one in five adolescents were currently "dependent" upon computer games. Boys played significantly more regularly than girls and were more likely to be classified as "depend…
Computer game playing in adolescence: Prevalence and demographic indicators
Computer game playing is a popular activity among adolescents yet there have been no systematic studies in the U.K. on its prevalence and its demographics. A questionnaire study was undertaken with 387 adolescents (12–16 years of age) to establish the time spent playing computer games, who they first started playing with, the reasons why they first started and why they play now and negative consequences of play. Results revealed that for many ado…
A strategy for trauma debriefing after railway suicides
The Global Voyage of Robert Lepage
Under a wash of pale blue light an actor in a tuxedo walks to the middle of the stage and steps into a sunken swimming pool filled thigh-high with water. A piano bench is lowered from the ceiling. The actor, playing Frederic Chopin, sits on the bench and is transported 40 feet straight up to a waiting grand piano which is suspended in midair and surrounded by enough chairs and music stands (painted blue to match the piano) for a small orchestra. …
