  • Old Scars Don’t Hurt? A Systematic Review on the Association Between Child Maltreatment and Adult Social Functioning

    Open AccessIsabelle Göhre, Lea Vogel et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2026

    Social impairments are commonly reported by individuals with a history of child maltreatment (CM). However, a systematic review on the relationship between different types of CM and impairments across various domains of social functioning in adults with and without mental disorders that also addresses mediating and moderating factors is still missing. Therefore, we systematically searched the PsycINFO and Web of Science databases for peer-reviewe…

  • Victim empowerment and satisfaction

    Open AccessMathias Twardawski, Mario Gollwitzer et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2024Referências: 48

    Imagery rescripting (ImRs) is a prominent approach to help individuals alleviate the negative consequences following victimization. In two studies (total N = 641), participants experienced a victimization incident induced by a video. In subsequent audio‐guided (ImRs or control) interventions, we examined the impact of imagined (i) victims' active or passive role, (ii) punishment for the offender (yes/no), and (iii) offender moral change (yes/no) …

    Aleya Flechsenhar, K Seitz et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2022

    These findings indicate that childhood trauma may contribute to attentional and information-processing biases relevant for social interaction. Identifying individual social deficits offers implications for tailored therapeutic interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Identity Development and Maladaptive Personality Traits in Young Refugees and First- and Second-Generation Migrants

    Open AccessMax Zettl, Zeynep Akın et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Refugees are often exposed to a variety of stressors and traumatic events, posing a significant risk for the development of mental disorders. Young refugees may be particularly at risk because adverse life events affect identity formation, a developmental task that is typically expected in adolescence and emerging adulthood. Trauma and cultural changes may alter identity development, potentially leading to identity diffusion, a core concept of pe…

  • Don't Make Me Angry

    Open AccessKatja Bertsch, Sarah N Back et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Aggression is a prominent interpersonal dysfunction of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). In BPD aggression is predominantly reactive in nature, often triggered by frustration, provocation, or social threat and is associated with intense anger and an inability to regulate this strong, negative emotion. Building on previous research, we were interested in investigating negative emotionality in general and anger in particular i…

  • Impact of a Mechanism-Based Anti-Aggression Psychotherapy on Behavioral Mechanisms of Aggression in Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder

    Open AccessHannah Honecker, Katja Bertsch et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Introduction: Aggressive behavior is highly prevalent in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and represents a major burden for patients and their environment. Previous studies have hypothesized threat hypersensitivity, among other mechanisms, as a biobehavioral mechanism underlying aggressive behavior in patients with BPD. The effects of a 6-week mechanism-based anti-aggression psychotherapy (MAAP) for the group setting were teste…

  • Oxytocin Normalizes Approach–Avoidance Behavior in Women With Borderline Personality Disorder

    Open AccessIsabella Schneider, Sabrina Boll et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Background: Interpersonal deficits are a core symptom of borderline personality disorder (BPD), which could be related to increased social threat sensitivity and a tendency to approach rather than avoid interpersonal threats. The neuropeptide oxytocin has been shown to reduce threat sensitivity in patients with BPD and to modify approach-avoidance behavior in healthy volunteers. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled between-su…
