Towards a contextualised assessment of trauma
Background Symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) are shaped by socio-culturally embedded models of the self, relationships, and emotions, and are often exacerbated by ongoing structural adversity. Standardised diagnostic instruments insufficiently capture these socio-cultural and structural dimensions. Objective This study aimed to develop and pilot test a Socio-Cultural and Structural Addendum (SCSA) to the International Tra…
Redefining Roles and Relationships – A Systematic Review of Gender Role Changes in Migrant Couples
Background: Migration, a growing global phenomenon, can transform migrants’ experiences by exposing them to new cultural values. One significant transformation involves the shift from traditional gender roles to more egalitarian gender roles. This systematic review examines the available research on the origins of gender role changes among migrant couples and their impact on couples’ relationships. Method: The review process on PsycInfo, PsycArti…
The role of maternal postmigration living difficulties in intergenerational trauma transmission among asylum-seeker mother–child dyads
This study provides novel evidence that PMLD may amplify the toxicity of past maternal trauma exposure for poor child socioemotional outcomes via ICD-11 DSO symptoms. The intergenerational transmission pathway via the narrower fear-based ICD-11 PTSD, however, is independent of the degree of maternal PMLD. Findings suggest that policies designed to buffer intergenerational trauma transmission among forcibly displaced people may need to consider th…

University Students' Life Stressors and Mental Health in Georgia and German-Speaking Switzerland
Background: The university years are associated with a variety of stressors, and recently, COVID-19 has presented an additional burden on students’ mental well-being. As mental health manifestations of stressors may differ between countries, this study compared students from Switzerland and the Republic of Georgia regarding the burden of stressors and the role of potentially culture-dependent risk and protective factors of mental health (i.e., he…
The Ukraine–Russia war
The results confirm the ICD-11 structure of CPTSD but suggest that continuous traumatic stress manifests in more condensed associations between CPTSD symptoms and that emotional regulation may play a vital role in activating the CPTSD network. War-exposed populations could be provided with scalable, brief self-help materials focused on fostering emotion regulation and an SoT. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Validation of the French ADNM-20 in the assessment of emotional difficulties resulting from Covid-19 quarantine and outbreak
Adjustment disorder is a relevant concept to understand psychological manifestations caused by quarantine and outbreak. The French ANDM has good psychometric properties to evaluate such manifestations. The association between coping strategies and AD symptoms suggest that CBT may be the best intervention to help people suffering from AD
Negative Affect, Fatalism, and Perceived Institutional Betrayal in Times of the Coronavirus Pandemic
Background: A growing number of studies report that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in diverse aversive psychological reactions and created a global mental health crisis. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the negative emotional reactions as well as the differences between countries are only beginning to be explored. The present study examined the association of COVID-19-related fear and negative affect in Israel and Switzerland. The …
Posttraumatic Stress and Sexual Satisfaction in Husbands and Wives
Cumulative lifetime adversity and depression among a national sample of U.S. Latinx immigrants
Our results provide preliminary evidence for the presence of within-group differences in responses to adverse events among Latinx immigrant groups. Results can be used to inform the development of mental health interventions tailored to the specific needs of various Latinx immigrant populations
ICD-11 Adjustment Disorder among Organ Transplant Patients and Their Relatives
Adjustment disorder (AD) is one of the most frequent mental health conditions after stressful life experiences in the medical setting. The diagnosis has been conceptually redefined in International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and now includes specific symptoms of preoccupations and failure to adapt. The current study assesses the prevalence of self-reported ICD-11 AD among organ transplantation patients and their relatives, explores the a…
