    Open AccessJoana Proença Becker, Rui Paixão et al.ARTICLESocieties2023References: 1

    Firefighters are considered a high-risk group for developing stress-related psychopathologies, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to repeated exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTE). Studies have indicated that PTE is also associated with the development of Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD). However, the occurrence of this condition among firefighters is an underexplored topic. This study aimed to assess the relationships betw…

    Ricardo J Pinto, Maria Castro et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2022

    While arousal and reactivity symptoms seem to play a key role in adolescents suffering from somatization symptoms, cumulative adversity have their own direct and strong contribution.
