Abstract

Anniversaries of traumatic events are associated with increased symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, especially in individuals with prior mental health symptoms. However, research has largely focussed on 1‐year anniversaries, and it is unclear whether symptom exacerbation persists for more distal, or milestone, anniversaries. Symptoms typically decrease over time after traumatic events, but major anniversaries may be associated with increases in mental health symptoms. During and 3 months after the 50th anniversary of the political protest violence at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, 115 individuals completed measures of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and anniversary‐related stress. Participants reported greater stress (t(97) = 4.04 p ≤.001) during the 50th anniversary compared to 3 months later, but there were no differences in total PTSD (t(114) =.65, p =.52) or depression/anxiety symptoms (all p's >.05). Even in higher‐risk individuals (those who previously received mental health services), symptoms did not differ during versus after the anniversary. In general, long‐term anniversaries may contribute to transient increases in distress but do not induce major changes in mental health symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. Maupassant and Medicine: The intersection between the works of Guy de Maupassant and the development of psychiatry and neurology in fin-de-siecle France

Author

Straub, Elizabeth E.

Subjects

Abstract

This thesis will demonstrate that the French nineteenth-century author Guy de Maupassant, through both his literary ability and his intimate knowledge of psychological and neurological disorders, provides a unique insight into French medical attitudes of the nineteenth century. Analysis will be based on a selection of short stories written by Maupassant which reflect both his progressing neurological and psychiatric symptoms and intersect with contemporary medical knowledge within the burgeoning field of psychiatry. Maupassant expresses his opinions on hysteria and hypnotism, a diagnosis and treatment respectively, in several of his writings — most notably in “Conte de Noël.” Further, through his writing, Maupassant explores his own experiences with hallucinations at a time when nineteenth-century French psychiatrists were beginning to characterize the phenomenon. Similarly, Maupassant examines the descent into madness and its relationship with suicide in several other stories, writing at a time in which outdated conceptions of insanity and modern diagnoses such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder were evolving.

9. The Differential Impact of Specific Childhood Maltreatment Types on Current Substance Use Dependence Symptom Severity

Author

Psychology, substance use disorder, childhood maltreatment
Abstract

Childhood maltreatment, defined as child physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect, occurs at an alarmingly high rates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect each year. Experiences of childhood maltreatment can lead to a wide range of enduring negative mental and physical health outcomes including substance use disorders. A wealth of literature supports the relationship between childhood maltreatment and later substance abuse; however, most research focuses on the impact of physical and sexual abuse without assessing neglect. Although the negative outcomes of abuse have received significant research attention, the often-chronic nature of neglect may lead to more deleterious long-term consequences than other forms of maltreatment. More research is needed investigating whether differing profiles of childhood trauma are differentially associated with substance use. Among individuals with SUD, it is unknown whether specific types of childhood maltreatment (i.e. physical abuse vs. emotional neglect) differently impact SUD severity. The present study examined the relationship between different types of childhood maltreatment (physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect) and current substance use disorder symptom severity in an adult sample of substance users undergoing medication-assisted detoxification recruited from a detoxification facility.

Abstract

Anniversaries of traumatic events are associated with increased symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, especially in individuals with prior mental health symptoms. However, research has largely focussed on 1-year anniversaries, and it is unclear whether symptom exacerbation persists for more distal, or milestone, anniversaries. Symptoms typically decrease over time after traumatic events, but major anniversaries may be associated with increases in mental health symptoms. During and 3 months after the 50th anniversary of the political protest violence at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, 115 individuals completed measures of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and anniversary-related stress. Participants reported greater stress (t(97) = 4.04 p ≤ .001) during the 50th anniversary compared to 3 months later, but there were no differences in total PTSD (t(114) = .65, p = .52) or depression/anxiety symptoms (all p's > .05). Even in higher-risk individuals (those who previously received mental health services), symptoms did not differ during versus after the anniversary. In general, long-term anniversaries may contribute to transient increases in distress but do not induce major changes in mental health symptoms., (© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
