An initial investigation of the association between distress intolerance and posttraumatic stress within military sexual trauma survivors
These findings provide initial evidence for a relationship between DI and PTSD symptoms within MST patients. Pending further research, investigators should determine the extent to which targeting this cognitive-behavioral construct reduces PTSD symptoms among MST samples.

Examining MMPI-2 F-family scales in PTSD-diagnosed veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom
Our study examined Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) F-family validity scales (F, Fb, F-K, Fp) in treatment-seeking veterans diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to Operation Enduring or Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). Seventy-nine percent of veterans had F T scores over 65, 54% elevated F over 80 T; and 71% elevated Fb above 65 or 80. Fewer veterans elevated F-K ( 13; 22%) and Fp ( 100 T; 5%). Differences eme…

The Circumplex Model and its accompanying measure, the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES I, II, and III), are considered one of the state-of-the-art family assessment instruments in the field. A number of concerns, however, have been raised about the validity and reliability of the previous FACES measures and their ability to assess the Circumplex Model. Limitations of previous FACES measures have resulted in the developme…
