The purpose of this feminist grounded theory study was to examine how past trauma shaped the lives of women as they became new mothers. We recruited a purposive sample of 32 women from two Canadian communities and conducted semistructured, dialogic interviews during the second trimester of pregnancy. We analyzed…

• A preliminary examination of perceptions of betrayal and its association with memory disturbances among survivors of childhood sexual abuse

  Susan O’Rinn, Susan O'Rinn et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2012

  Incluir item

  Disturbances in memories of abuse among survivors of childhood abuse have been well documented. However, less is known about who is most likely to suffer such disturbances. This article examines the extent to which Betrayal Trauma Theory (BTT) can account for differences in memory disturbances. Freyd (1996) posited that betrayal by a caregiver, who is also someone with whom the child needs to maintain a relationship, is at the core of forgetting …

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

  Bethany L Brand, Scot Mcnary et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2012

  Incluir item

  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…

• A pilot study of body-oriented group psychotherapy

  Judith I Langmuir, Shari G Kirsh et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2011

  Incluir item

  Research suggests that trauma has a profound effect on the body by disrupting normal physiologic responses leading to a broad range of trauma-related symptoms. In this paper, we describe a stage-one trauma group based on the clinical rationale and techniques of Pat Ogden’s (2006) sensorimotor psychotherapy (SP). To date, there has been no empirical research to support the efficacy of this treatment approach. Ten women with a history of childhood …

Primary outcomes included risk for HIV infection (based on sexual revictimization, drug and alcohol use, and risky sex) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. It was hypothesized that TFGT would be supe…

  This article reviews the literature on sexual revictimization, covering approximately 90 empirical studies and includes a discussion of prevalence, risk factors, and correlates of sexual revictimization.
