  • A randomized controlled trial assists individuals with complex trauma and dissociation in Finding Solid Ground

    Open AccessBethany L Brand, Hugo J Schielke et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2025

    This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that adding FSG to psychotherapy of individuals with TRD results in improvements in emotion regulation, PTSD symptoms, self-compassion, and adaptive functioning. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Receptive Language Abilities for Females Exposed to Early Life Adversity: Modification by Epigenetic Age Acceleration at Midlife in a 30-Year Prospective Cohort Study

    Open AccessJohn M Felt, Karra Harrington et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2022References: 1

    ELA is associated with significant differences in development of receptive language abilities with the most pronounced differences observed for females with accelerated epigenetic ages at mid-life. These findings suggest that epigenetic age acceleration could serve as an indicator of differences in cognitive aging and portend to later adulthood cognitive functioning

  • Predictors of maternal depressive symptom trajectories over the first 18 months in home visiting

    Open AccessAngelique R Teeters, Robert T Ammerman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2016

    Maternal depression negatively impacts maternal functioning and parenting behaviors. Mothers participating in home visiting programs are at particularly elevated risk for depressive symptoms due to demographic and associated risk factors. Moreover, additional empirical evidence has demonstrated that mothers with depression do not benefit from home visiting interventions to the same extent as their peers without depression. The purpose of this stu…

  • Multiple Mediation of Trauma and Parenting Stress in Mothers in Home Visiting

    Open AccessRobert T Ammerman, Chad E Shenk et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2013Cited by: 8References: 32

    Parenting stress is associated with poor maternal and child outcomes. Multiple contributors to parenting stress have been proposed, but disaggregation of distinct pathways has been relatively unexplored. In addition, the contribution of maternal experience of childhood trauma has been inadequately considered. Childhood trauma and parenting stress are common in mothers in home visiting programs. Understanding the relation between childhood trauma …

  • A longitudinal naturalistic study of patients with dissociative disorders treated by community clinicians

    Bethany L Brand, Scot Mcnary et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2012

    Severe dissociative disorders (DD) are associated with high levels of impairment, treatment utilization, and treatment costs, yet relatively little systematic research has focused on treatment for these challenging patients. The goal of this naturalistic observational 30-month follow-up study of an international sample of patients with dissociative disorders was to determine if treatment provided by community providers was associated with improve…

  • Anger expression and adaptation to childhood sexual abuse: The role of disclosure

    Sumati Gupta, George A Bonanno et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2011

    Previous research on anger and childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is largely cross-sectional and retrospective. In this study, we prospectively examined the consequences of expressing anger among sexually abused women in contexts of either voluntarily disclosing or not disclosing a previous abuse episode (n 94). All CSA survivors in the study had documented histories of CSA. These participants and a matched, nonabused sample were asked to describe thei…

  • Effectiveness of community dissemination of parent–child interaction therapy

    Erica Pearl, Lacey Thieken et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2011

    The Trauma Treatment Training Center (TTTC) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital examined the imple- mentation and effectiveness of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in community agencies working with high-risk families through an awarded grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The current study summarizes posttreatment data collected from community clinicians trained by the TTTC. Results include 53 posttreatm…

  • A survey of practices and recommended treatment interventions among expert therapists treating patients with dissociative identity disorder and dissociative disorder not otherwise specified

  • PTSD in depressed mothers in home visitation

    Robert T Ammerman, F W Putnam et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2011

    Recent research has suggested that mothers participating in home visitation programs have a high incidence of mental health problems, particularly depression. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common comorbidity with depression, yet its prevalence among home visiting populations and implications for parenting and maternal functioning have not been examined. This study contrasted depressed mothers with ( n = 35) and without PTSD ( n = 55) …

  • A naturalistic study of dissociative identity disorder and dissociative disorder not otherwise specified patients treated by community clinicians

    Bethany L Brand, Bethany Brand et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2009

    The goals of this naturalistic, cross-sectional study were to describe the patient, therapist, and therapeutic conditions of an international sample of dissociative disorder (DD) patients treated by community therapists and to determine if community treatment for DD appears to be as effective as treatment for chronic PTSD and conditions comorbid with DD. Analyses found that across both patient (N 280) and therapist (N 292) reports, patients in th…

  • Evidence-Based Psychosocial Treatments for Children and Adolescents Exposed to Traumatic Events

    Wendy K Silverman, Claudio D Ortiz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Clinical Child &…2008

    Child and adolescent trauma exposure is prevalent, with trauma exposure-related symptoms, including posttraumatic stress, depressive, and anxiety symptoms often causing substantial impairment. This article updates the evidence base on psychosocial treatments for child and adolescent trauma exposure completed for this journal by Silverman et al. (2008). For this review, we focus on 37 studies conducted during the seven years since the last review.…

  • Context matters: The benefits and costs of expressing positive emotion among survivors of childhood sexual abuse

    George A Bonanno, Deniz M Colak et al.ARTICLEEmotion2007

    Positive emotions promote adjustment to aversive life events. However, evolutionary theory and empirical research on trauma disclosure suggest that in the context of stigmatized events, expressing positive emotions might incur social costs. To test this thesis, the authors coded genuine (Duchenne) smiling and laughter and also non-Duchenne smiling from videotapes of late-adolescent and young adult women, approximately half with documented histori…

  • A prospective investigation of the impact of childhood sexual abuse on the development of sexuality.

    João Gilberto Noll, Jennie G Noll et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consulting and…2003

    The sexual attitudes and activities of 77 sexually abused and 89 comparison women (mean age = 20.41, SD = 3.38) were assessed 10 years after disclosure in a longitudinal, prospective study of the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse. Abused participants were more preoccupied with sex, younger at first voluntary intercourse, more likely to have been teen mothers, and endorsed lower birth controlefficacy than comparison participants. When ps…

  • Treating Traumatized Children: Clinical Implications of the Psychobiology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

    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,…

  • When the face reveals what words do not: Facial expressions of emotion, smiling, and the willingness to disclose childhood sexual abuse

    George A Bonanno, Dacher Keltner et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2002Cited by: 5References: 71

    For survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), verbal disclosure is often complex and painful. The authors examined the voluntary disclosure-nondisclosure of CSA in relation to nonverbal expressions of emotion in the face. Consistent with hypotheses derived from recent theorizing about the moral nature of emotion, CSA survivors who did not voluntarily disclose CSA showed greater facial expressions of shame, whereas CSA survivors who voluntarily d…

    This article examined evidence for dimensional and typological models of dissociation.The authors reviewed previous research with the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DBS; E. B. Bernstein-Carlson & F. W. Putnam, 1986) and note that this scale, like other dissociation questionnaires, was developed to measure that socalled dissociative continuum.Next, recently developed taxometric methods for distinguishing typological from dimensional constructs ar…

  • Development, Reliability, and Validity of a Dissociation Scale

    EVE M BERNSTEIN, F W PutnamARTICLEThe Journal of Nervous and Mental…1986

    Dissociation is a lack of the normal integration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences into the stream of consciousness and memory. Dissociation occurs to some degree in normal individuals and is thought to be more prevalent in persons with major mental illnesses. The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) has been developed to offer a means of reliably measuring dissociation in normal and clinical populations. Scale items were developed using cli…
