A Life Course Approach to Mental Disorders examines the interplay of social and biological factors in the production of a wide range of mental disorders throughout life, from the peri-natal period through to old age.The aging into adulthood of numerous birth cohorts, especially over the past twenty years, has provided increasing evidence that mental disorders previously perceived to emerge in adulthood may have their origins early in life. This book brings together, in a single resource, the research in life course epidemiology of mental disorders, forging a consensus on the current science and pointing the way forward for the field.Assembling researchers across disparate disciplines including epidemiology, developmental psychopathology, psychiatric genetics, sociology, developmental cognitive neuroscience, and epigenetics the book reviews the methods and synthesizes existing knowledge about the life course epidemiology of mental disorders in populations. It also presents discussions of the mechanisms that drive the production of mental disorders over the life course including emerging areas of research in the field.A Life Course Approach to Mental Disorders brings together the state-of-the-art science of life course epidemiology to inform training, research, practice and policy with regard to mental disorders. The first comprehensive articulation of a life course perspective in the area, it will be a key resource for academics, researchers and students.

The devastating effects of childhood sexual abuse have been widely chronicled, validating the difficulty with which many survivors struggle. Often overlooked are the millions of women who have overcome early trauma to lead successful, happy lives. Why do these women-whom we might otherwise have expected to fail-have such tremAndous strength and resilience? This question is at the heart of With the Phoenix Rising as it paints a moving and optimistic portrait of ten women who have overcome the trauma of childhood sexual abuse and shows how their resilient success can be encouraged in others who have suffered similar traumas.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic, under-detected and under-treated psychiatric consequence of trauma that is often linked to new-onset medical and psychological conditions, impaired quality of life and long-term disability across the globe. This book is the first systematic analysis of the rates, risk factors, consequences and global burden of trauma and PTSD across a variety of wealthy and underdeveloped settings. An analysis of a global survey conducted by the World Health Organization and featuring findings from over 70,000 participants around the world, this text demonstrates a unique perspective on the prevalence of exposure to trauma and PTSD and the impact it has on population health. The findings inside this text underscore the urgent need for policymakers and healthcare providers to prioritize interventions aimed at reducing the burden of trauma, PTSD and its consequences.

Menschen, die interpersonelle Traumatisierungen erlebt haben, wie z.B. sexuellen Missbrauch in der Kindheit, häusliche oder strukturelle Gewalt, haben häufig mit den Symptomen einer Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) zu kämpfen. Zudem behindern die traumatischen Erlebnisse den Aufbau von wichtigen Ressourcen, was den Umgang mit Emotionen und den Aufbau von Beziehungen erschwert. Hier setzt das evidenzbasierte Skillstraining zur affektiven und interpersonellen Regulation/Narrative Therapie (STAIR/Narrative Therapie) an. Die 2., vollständig überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage des Buches beschreibt ein klar strukturiertes Vorgehen, das traumatisierten Personen hilft, ihre Bewältigungsfähigkeiten zu verbessern, soziale und emotionale Ressourcen aufzubauen und die traumatischen Erfahrungen zu bearbeiten.Das Therapieprogramm setzt sich aus zwei Behandlungsschwerpunkten zusammen: Im ersten Modul (STAIR) werden Fähigkeiten vermittelt, die die Emotionsregulation verbessern, den Aufbau von Beziehungen fördern und das Selbstmitgefühl stärken. Das zweite Modul (Narrative Therapie) fokussiert die Bearbeitung der traumatischen Ereignisse mithilfe narrativer Verfahren. Die Neuauflage von STAIR/Narrative Therapie berücksichtigt die Diagnosekriterien nach DSM-5 und ICD-11, kann bei einem breiten Spektrum interpersoneller Traumatisierungen zum Einsatz kommen und enthält zusätzliche Sitzungen zur Emotionsregulation, zu Selbstmitgefühl und zu Nähe und Intimität in Beziehungen. Ausführliche Anleitungen zum Vorgehen in den Sitzungen und Fallbeispiele erleichtern die Umsetzung in der klinischen Praxis. Zahlreiche Arbeitsblätter können nach erfolgter Registrierung von der Hogrefe Webseite heruntergeladen werden.
