Second, amajor augmentation in mental health staffing had brought …

  • Five Essential Elements of Immediate and Mid–Term Mass Trauma Intervention

    Stevan E Hobfoll, Patricia Watson et al.ARTICLEPsychiatry2007

    Given the devastation caused by disasters and mass violence, it is critical that intervention policy be based on the most updated research findings. However, to date, no evidence-based consensus has been reached supporting a clear set of recommendations for intervention during the immediate and the mid-term post mass trauma phases. Because it is unlikely that there will be evidence in the near or mid-term future from clinical trials that cover th…

  • Cognitive processing therapy for veterans with military-related posttraumatic stress disorder

    Candice M Monson, Paula P Schnurr et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consulting and…2006Cited by: 32References: 3

    Sixty veterans (54 men, 6 women) with chronic military-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) participated in a wait-list controlled trial of cognitive processing therapy (CPT). The overall dropout rate was 16.6% (20% from CPT, 13% from waiting list). Random regression analyses of the intention-to-treat sample revealed significant improvements in PTSD and comorbid symptoms in the CPT condition compared with the wait-list condition. Forty pe…

  • Disaster Victims Speak

    Fran H Norris, Melvin J Friedman et al.ARTICLEPsychiatry2002

    Results for 160 samples of disaster victims were coded as to sample type, disaster type, disaster location, outcomes and risk factors observed, and overall severity of impairment. In order of frequency, outcomes included specific psychological problems, nonspecific distress, health problems, chronic problems in living, resource loss, and problems specific to youth. Regression analyses showed that samples were more likely to be impaired if they we…

  • Disaster Victims Speak

    Fran H Norris, Melvin J Friedman et al.ARTICLEPsychiatry2002

    On the basis of the literature reviewed in Part I of this two-part series (Norris, Friedman, Watson, Byrne, Diaz, and Kaniasty, this volume), the authors recommend early intervention following disasters, especially when the disaster is associated with extreme and widespread damage to property, ongoing financial problems for the stricken community, violence that resulted from human intent, and a high prevalence of trauma in the form of injuries, t…

  • Treating Traumatized Children

    Open AccessJudith A Cohen, JAMES M PEREL et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2002

    There is growing evidence that child maltreatment and posttraumatic stress disorder result in numerous neurobiological alterations in children and adolescents, including abnormalities in brain structure and functioning. This article reviews several psychobiological systems with regard to their functioning under normal stress and in the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder, with a focus on recent research findings in children and adolescents,…

  • Relationship of Psychiatric Status to Gulf War Veterans' Health Problems

    Jessica Wolfe, Susan P Proctor et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1999

    OBJECTIVE: A growing body of research has shown that there are important links between certain psychiatric disorders and health symptom reporting. Two disorders in particular (posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression) have been the most widely implicated to date, and this association has sometimes been used to explain the occurrence of ill-defined medical problems and increased somatic symptoms in certain groups, most recently Gu…

  • Depression, Hypertension, and Serum Dopamine-β-Hydroxylase Activity

    Melvin J Friedman, Matthew J Friedman et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1978

    Serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) activity was measured in a heterogeneous sample of 290 outpatients awaiting medical, surgical, or psychiatric appointments at a Veterans Administration Hospital. All patients were assessed for depressive symptomatology by the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and for elevated diastolic blood pressure (BP greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg). Elevated DBH activity was associated with SDS scores greater tha…

  • Depression and Hypertension

    Melvin J Friedman, Matthew J Friedman et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1977

    The study consisted of 1101 Caucasian, male outpatients, who were screened for depression and hypertension in order to test the hypothesis that there is a unique relationship between these two illnesses. Depression was assessed by the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) while diastolic blood pressure (BP) was accepted as the index of hypertension. Medical records were reviewed to determine whether the patient's clinical diagnoses would have a…
