<div><h3>Introduction</h3><div>Young’s Schema therapy has shown effectiveness in treating individuals diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) (Ubico et al., 2025). Dissociative symptoms are frequently observed in this clinical presentation. However, how do they evolve over the course of treatment? To address this, we have developed a psychotherapeutic program that integrates group and individual therapy, grounded in Contextual Schema Therapy (Roediger et al., 2018). This program also draws on key principles from psychotraumatology, particularly the theory of structural dissociation of the personality (Van der Hart et al., 2006). While these theoretical frameworks share certain conceptual foundations, they differ in how they understand dissociation and in the therapeutic strategies they propose. Still, given the well-documented influence of therapeutic alliance and group cohesion on treatment outcomes, the common factors model of psychotherapy may offer a valuable, integrative lens. This raises a central question: What mechanisms of change can be observed in an individual with Complex PTSD undergoing a combined group and individual psychotherapy program?<!--> </div></div><div><h3>Methodology</h3><div>This study employs a mixed-methods design grounded in Fishman’s (2017) pragmatic case study methodology. Standardized instruments were administered at four time points: pre-treatment (T0), mid-group therapy (T1; after 10 sessions), post-group therapy (T2; after 20 sessions), and at a three-month follow-up (T3). Variables assessed encompassed complex post-traumatic stress symptoms, psychoform and somatoform dissociative symptoms, quality of life, and the therapeutic alliance. Group cohesion was evaluated at the conclusion of each of the twenty group sessions. The clinician-researcher also conducted monthly assessments utilizing the Dimensions of Therapeutic Movement Instrument (DTMI) for complex trauma. At the conclusion of therapy (T2), an independent clinical psychologist conducted a research interview to explore various dimensions of change. A thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) was conducted to identify emerging themes from the interview.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The trajectory of the combined psychotherapy is delineated in detail.

杨氏图式疗法在治疗诊断为复杂创伤后应激障碍(C-PTSD)的个体方面显示出有效性(Ubico et al., 2025)。这种临床表现经常出现分离性症状。然而,它们在治疗过程中是如何演变的呢?为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一种基于情境图式疗法(Roediger et al., 2018)的心理治疗方案,将团体和个人治疗结合起来。该项目还借鉴了心理创伤学的关键原则,特别是人格结构分离理论(Van der Hart et al., 2006)。虽然这些理论框架共享某些概念基础,但它们在如何理解解离和提出的治疗策略方面有所不同。尽管如此,考虑到治疗联盟和团体凝聚力对治疗结果的良好影响,心理治疗的共同因素模型可能提供一个有价值的综合视角。这就提出了一个核心问题:在接受团体和个人联合心理治疗项目的复杂PTSD患者身上,可以观察到什么样的变化机制?本研究采用基于Fishman(2017)实用案例研究方法的混合方法设计。在四个时间点使用标准化工具:治疗前(T0)、组中治疗(T1; 10次治疗后)、组后治疗(T2; 20次治疗后)和三个月随访(T3)。评估的变量包括复杂的创伤后应激症状、精神和躯体形式的分离症状、生活质量和治疗联盟。小组凝聚力在20次小组会议结束时进行评估。临床研究人员还利用治疗运动仪器(DTMI)对复杂创伤进行了每月评估。在治疗结束时(T2),独立的临床心理学家进行了一次研究访谈,以探索变化的各个维度。进行主题分析(Braun & Clarke, 2006)以确定访谈中出现的主题。结果详细描述了综合心理治疗的发展轨迹。治疗结束时,观察到复杂的创伤后症状以及精神和躯体形式的分离症状显著减轻,这些改善在随访中持续存在。生活质量也有显著提高。在共同治疗因素方面,治疗联盟在整个治疗过程中逐渐增强。相比之下,集团凝聚力在第十届会议上急剧下降,但随后在解决集团内部的分裂后有所改善和稳定。研究访谈强调了几项治疗成果,包括症状减轻、团体治疗的贡献、综合方法的价值、对心理功能的深入了解、人际关系的改善、自信心的增强、情绪调节的增强、治疗工具的使用以及治疗关系的核心重要性。这些发现是在现有的关于创伤后和分离症状以及相关合并症的文献的背景下进行检验的。通过结构分离理论和Liotti对创伤性和分离性个体无组织依恋的概念分析了参与者的整合过程。该研究进一步证实了图式治疗技术的有效性,包括椅子工作和意象重写。此外,这些发现与现有的关于常见治疗因素的研究相一致,强调了情绪突出体验在促进心理变化方面的重要性。这一个案研究举例说明了两种有助于转变的治疗方式之间的相互作用和周期性相互作用:个体治疗,侧重于心理过程和创伤处理,团体治疗,侧重于人际动态。局限性和未来方向虽然单例设计限制了研究结果的普遍性,但本研究为未来的研究和临床创新提供了有希望的途径。

Background

Pre-traumatic stress is characterized by intrusiveness, avoidance, hyper-arousal and alterations of behaviors and cognitions related to future traumatic events that may actually occur. The main tool to self-assess pre-traumatic stress is the Pre-traumatic stress reactions Checklist (PreCL). To date, no study has assessed the psychometric properties of PreCL. In addition, no study has studied the pre-traumatic stress in population under the threat of natural catastrophes and the concurrent underlined mechanisms of these reactions.

Objective

This study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of PreCL, and the underlying mechanisms of pre-traumatic stress reactions in a group of participants living in the Campi Flegrei (Italy), a densely populated area which is cyclically affected by bradyseism and at high risk of volcanic eruptions.

Methods

Recruitment involved 432 participants. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (EFA/CFA) was used to assess and re-define the factorial structure of PreCL. Structural equation model was used to test the mediation effect of intensity and frequency of worry about bradyseism on the relationship between the intolerance of uncertainty’s dimensions and the pre-traumatic stress factors.

Results

From the EFA/CFA, a two-independent factor structure emerged: Pre-traumatic reactive responses (PreCL-R) and Pre-traumatic alterations of mood and cognitions (PreCL-A). The frequency of worry about bradyseism fully mediated the relationship between the prospective intolerance of uncertainty and PreCL-R, while the intensity of worry partially mediates between inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and PreCL-R. No mediation effect was found for PreCL-A.

Conclusion

This study provides a stable structure of PreCL supporting its use in future research, and insights into the relationship between pre-traumatic reactions, current worry, and intolerance of uncertainty —findings that are relevant for both research and clinical practice.
创伤前应激的特征是侵入性、回避性、高度唤醒性以及与未来可能发生的创伤事件相关的行为和认知的改变。自我评估创伤前应激的主要工具是创伤前应激反应检查表(PreCL)。到目前为止,还没有研究评估了PreCL的心理测量特性。此外,尚未有研究对自然灾害威胁下人群的创伤前应激及其同时强调的机制进行研究。目的分析意大利Campi Flegrei (Campi Flegrei,一个周期性发育迟缓和火山爆发风险高的人口密集地区)的一组参与者的创伤前应激反应(PreCL)的心理测量特征,以及创伤前应激反应的潜在机制。方法招募432名参与者。采用探索性和验证性因子分析(EFA/CFA)评估和重新定义PreCL的因子结构。采用结构方程模型检验发育迟缓焦虑强度和频率对不确定性维度不耐受度与创伤前应激因素之间关系的中介作用。结果从EFA/CFA中,出现了一个双独立的因素结构:创伤前反应性反应(pre - r)和创伤前情绪和认知改变(pre - a)。对发育迟缓的担忧频率在前瞻性不确定性耐受与pre - r之间起完全中介作用,而担忧强度在抑制性不确定性耐受与pre - r之间起部分中介作用。pre - a无中介作用。结论本研究提供了一个稳定的PreCL结构,支持其在未来研究中的应用,并深入了解了创伤前反应、当前担忧和不确定性耐受性之间的关系,这些发现对研究和临床实践都有重要意义。

Background

This study explored the experiences of individuals with mild intellectual disability (MID: IQ 50–70) or borderline intellectual functioning (BIF: IQ 70–85), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and severe behavioural problems, with brief Intensive EMDR therapy delivered by a team of rotating therapists.

Purpose

Preliminary research indicates that Intensive EMDR therapy with a team of rotating therapists is effective in treating PTSD in individuals with MID-BIF. To optimise treatment outcomes, it is important to understand how they experience this treatment format.

Methods

In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with three adults with MID-BIF and severe behavioural problems, before and after therapy. Interviews with three professional caregivers (before and after therapy), three EMDR therapists (after therapy), and field notes were used to contextualise the experiences of the participants.

Results

Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) revealed that participants started Intensive EMDR therapy with rotating therapists holding high expectations. One participant discontinued early, two completed treatment, and all reported positive experiences with both the intensive format and therapist rotation model. The intensity was seen to support continuity and engagement, particularly compared to weekly therapy sessions. Minimal involvement of the (professional) support systems was also observed.

Conclusions

Participants with MID-BIF and severe behavioural problems generally reported positive experiences with brief Intensive EMDR therapy delivered by a team of rotating therapists.

Objective

Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) has emerged as a promising, evidence-based intervention to process traumatic experiences. No prior review has systematically examined its application for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). Furthermore, there still is not a clear understanding of mechanisms of change involved in ImRs, which are crucial for trauma-focused treatments. This review addresses this gap by summarizing the effectiveness and change processes of ImRs in PTSD and C-PTSD.

Method

A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Eligible studies were published in English or Italian, included clinical populations aged 18 or older, and used experimental or quasi-experimental designs.

Results

Twenty-four studies met inclusion criteria. Across randomized, clinical, and multiple-baseline studies, ImRs was associated with consistent reductions in trauma-related symptoms, showing treatment effects consistent with its targeting of core transdiagnostic processes—modifying aversive memory representations in PTSD and fostering integration and emotional safety in C-PTSD.

Conclusions

This review offers a focused synthesis of the evidence of ImRs for trauma-related disorders, highlighting its potential as a brief, powerful clinical intervention operating through distinct mechanisms of change across varying symptom profiles.
目的意象处方(ImRs)已成为一种有前途的、基于证据的创伤经历处理干预手段。目前尚无文献系统地研究其在创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和复杂创伤后应激障碍(C-PTSD)中的应用。此外,对于imr的变化机制仍然没有明确的认识,而imr对创伤治疗至关重要。本文通过总结ImRs在PTSD和C-PTSD中的有效性和变化过程来弥补这一空白。方法系统检索PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和PsycINFO。符合条件的研究以英语或意大利语发表,纳入18岁或以上的临床人群,并采用实验或准实验设计。结果24项研究符合纳入标准。在随机、临床和多基线研究中,ImRs与创伤相关症状的持续减少有关,显示出与其针对核心跨诊断过程的治疗效果一致——在PTSD中改变厌恶记忆表征,在C-PTSD中促进整合和情绪安全。本综述重点综合了创伤相关障碍的ImRs证据,强调了其作为一种简短、强大的临床干预手段的潜力,这种干预手段通过不同症状特征的不同改变机制运作。

Between stigma and gaps in care: The impact of media discourses on the treatment situation of individuals with DID in Switzerland 耻辱与护理差距之间:媒体话语对瑞士DID患者治疗状况的影响
IF 1.9 Q3 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-05 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejtd.2025.100595
Jan Gysi, Anonymous

Background

Despite Switzerland’s legal obligation to provide specialised services for survivors of violence, substantial treatment gaps remain for individuals with complex trauma-related disorders, particularly those diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID). This study examines the impact of negative and sensationalistic media coverage in the Swiss-German context (2021–2024) on their access to care.

Method

An anonymous online survey (n = 201) collected self-reported data on therapy discontinuation, waiting times, and psychiatric hospital admissions. Statistical analyses explored associations between a DID diagnosis and perceived changes in service provision.

Results

Participants with DID reported significantly higher rates of therapy discontinuation by providers, refusal of admission to clinics, and prolonged waiting times compared to other diagnostic groups. Many also perceived a deterioration in care that coincided with increased media attention and public debate.

Conclusion

The findings highlight persistent structural deficits in the mental health care of individuals with DID in Switzerland. These gaps appear to have been exacerbated by stigmatising media narratives. Addressing these issues requires improved professional training, trauma-informed public discourse, and the meaningful inclusion of experts by experience in both research and service development.
尽管瑞士有法律义务为暴力幸存者提供专门服务,但对于患有复杂创伤相关障碍的个人,特别是那些被诊断患有分离性身份障碍的人,仍然存在巨大的治疗差距。本研究考察了瑞士-德国背景下(2021-2024)负面和耸人听闻的媒体报道对他们获得护理的影响。方法一项匿名在线调查(n = 201)收集了自我报告的关于治疗中断、等待时间和精神病院住院的数据。统计分析探讨了DID诊断与服务提供的感知变化之间的联系。结果:与其他诊断组相比,DID患者报告的提供者停止治疗、拒绝入院和等待时间延长的发生率显著高于其他诊断组。许多人还认为,随着媒体的关注和公众辩论的增加,护理也在恶化。结论:研究结果强调了瑞士DID患者精神卫生保健中持续存在的结构性缺陷。媒体的污名化叙述似乎加剧了这些差距。解决这些问题需要改进专业培训,了解创伤的公共话语,以及在研究和服务开发方面有经验的专家的有意义的参与。

Deep brain reorienting group intervention (DBR-GI) as a tool for transforming embodied countertransference reactions and potential vicarious traumatization in trauma therapists 深层脑重定向群体干预(DBR-GI)作为创伤治疗师转化具身反移情反应和潜在替代性创伤的工具
IF 1.9 Q3 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-11-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejtd.2025.100615

Objective

To (i) describe a deep brain reorienting group intervention (DBR-GI), and (ii) explore whether the deep brain reorienting (DBR) method as a group intervention ameliorates countertransference reactions and distress in psychotherapists who provide trauma therapies. Distress that potentially otherwise could lead to vicarious traumatization.

Methods

All participants in this small, naturalistic study (n = 32) were experienced trauma psychotherapists in ongoing group supervision. They were offered an opportunity to process their reactions to relational difficulties and/or distress related to their clinical work with DBR-GI during consultation hours and all signed informed consent. The participants’ self-assessed experiences of discomfort before and after DBR processing were measured with the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS). They also provided verbal and written statements regarding their experiences after the DBR-GI intervention.

Results

SUDS ratings/values related to participants’ experiences of discomfort before and after the DBR-GI moment were significantly changed, p < 0000 (binomial calculation). The subjective ratings were aligned with the participants’ summarized verbal and written statements, where worry and unease changed towards a (re)gained felt sense of embodied freedom, presence, agency and clarity, including reduced transference reactions.

Conclusions

Preliminary results are promising. Potentially, DBR-GI seems to diminish trauma-generated countertransference and related reactions, also when used as a group intervention. New knowledge concerning which groups of clinicians who benefit from the intervention needs to be further enhanced and implemented in consultation/supervision. Whether or not DBR-GI is a helpful method during supervision of more inexperienced colleagues and if the group adaptation of DBR offers a possibility in work with clients should be investigated.
目的(i)描述深部脑重定向群体干预(DBR- gi), (ii)探讨深部脑重定向(DBR)方法作为一种群体干预是否能改善提供创伤治疗的心理治疗师的反移情反应和痛苦。可能导致替代性创伤的痛苦。方法所有参与者(n = 32)均为有经验的创伤心理治疗师,在持续的小组监督下进行。在咨询时间内,他们有机会处理与DBR-GI临床工作相关的关系困难和/或痛苦的反应,并签署知情同意书。采用主观痛苦单位量表(SUDS)测量受试者在DBR处理前后的自评不适体验。他们还提供了口头和书面陈述,说明他们在DBR-GI干预后的经历。结果受试者在DBR-GI时刻前后不适体验相关的suds评分/值发生显著变化,p < 0000(二项计算)。主观评分与参与者总结的口头和书面陈述一致,担心和不安转变为(重新)获得的具体自由、存在、能动性和清晰感,包括移情反应的减少。结论初步结果令人满意。潜在地,DBR-GI似乎减少了创伤产生的反移情和相关反应,当用作群体干预时也是如此。关于哪些临床医生群体从干预中受益的新知识需要进一步加强并在咨询/监督中实施。在对缺乏经验的同事进行监督时,DBR- gi是否是一种有用的方法,以及DBR的群体适应是否在与客户的工作中提供了可能性,这些都应该进行调查。

Comparison of emotion regulation between patients with schizophrenia and major depression across levels of dissociative experiences 精神分裂症患者与重度抑郁症患者在分离体验水平上情绪调节的比较
IF 1.9 Q3 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-04 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejtd.2025.100594

Background

This study examined cognitive emotion regulation in patients with schizophrenia and major depression, focusing on the impact of dissociative experiences.

Methods

A total of 140 patients were categorized into four groups based on diagnosis and dissociation level: schizophrenia with low and high dissociation, and major depression with low and high dissociation. Participants completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to compare emotion regulation strategies across the groups.

Results

The study found that patients with high dissociative symptoms in both disorders relied more heavily on maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and less on adaptive strategies compared to their low dissociation counterparts. Notably, schizophrenia patients with high dissociation showed greater use of maladaptive strategies than depressed patients with high dissociation.

Conclusion

The findings indicate that dissociative experiences exacerbate emotion regulation difficulties, particularly in schizophrenia, where maladaptive strategies such as suppression and experiential avoidance are more pronounced. The study underscores the need for targeted therapeutic interventions addressing both dissociative symptoms and emotion regulation deficits to improve clinical outcomes in these populations.

Remission of PTSD and comorbid OCD symptoms through psychotherapy for nightmares: A case report 通过噩梦心理治疗缓解创伤后应激障碍和共病强迫症症状:1例报告
IF 1.9 Q3 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-08-25 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejtd.2025.100590

Introduction

Research on nightmares and psychiatric disorders has predominantly focused on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This case report aims to explore the impact of treating post-traumatic nightmares on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms that emerged following a traumatic experience.

Case

A woman in her mid-twenties with PTSD, post-traumatic nightmares and OCD symptoms was treated with exposure, relaxation and rescripting therapy (ERRT). This therapy consists of altering one’s nightmares and repeatedly imagining the new dream during wakefulness, supplemented with sleep hygiene, time-in-bed restriction, stimulus control, exposure to the nightmares and relaxation techniques.

Results

The results indicate that utilizing ERRT for Laura's post-traumatic nightmares has resulted in the remission of PTSD, comorbid OCD symptoms, nightmares, insomnia symptoms and stress, along with a significant reduction in anxiety.

Conclusion

This case study illustrates that treating post-traumatic nightmares through ERRT in an individual with comorbid post-traumatic OCD symptoms is feasible and can positively impact both nightmares and OCD symptoms. The underlying mechanism is hypothesized to be that improving sleep enhances both fear extinction learning and emotion regulation—two processes known to be impaired in OCD. In this particular case, the reduction in evening hyperarousal and anxiety, resulting from the time-in-bed restriction, likely also contributed to a decrease in obsessive thoughts.
关于噩梦和精神障碍的研究主要集中在创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)上。本病例报告旨在探讨治疗创伤后噩梦对创伤经历后出现的强迫症(OCD)症状的影响。一位20多岁的女性患有创伤后应激障碍、创伤后噩梦和强迫症症状,她接受了暴露、放松和处方疗法(ERRT)的治疗。这种疗法包括改变一个人的噩梦,在清醒时反复想象新的梦,辅以睡眠卫生、卧床时间限制、刺激控制、暴露于噩梦和放松技巧。结果表明,利用ERRT治疗劳拉的创伤后噩梦导致了创伤后应激障碍、共病强迫症症状、噩梦、失眠症状和压力的缓解,同时显著减少了焦虑。结论本案例研究表明,通过ERRT治疗创伤后噩梦对伴有创伤后强迫症的个体是可行的,并且对噩梦和强迫症症状都有积极的影响。潜在的机制被假设为改善睡眠可以增强恐惧消除学习和情绪调节,这两个过程已知在强迫症中受损。在这种特殊情况下,由于卧床时间的限制,晚上过度觉醒和焦虑的减少,可能也有助于减少强迫性想法。

Background

Dissociation is often distressing, yet how affected adolescents manage dissociation in their daily lives is not well understood.

Objective

This study aimed to describe the strategies adolescents use to manage dissociative symptoms from the perspective of adolescents themselves, their parents, and their clinicians.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 participants: 6 female adolescent patients (aged 14–17 years, M = 15.67) from an outpatient psychiatric service in Western Australia, 3 parents, and 4 clinicians. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted.

Results

Findings were consistent across adolescents, parents, and clinicians. Four main themes reflecting the varied strategies adolescents use to cope with dissociation were developed: Coping Needs to be Right for Me (theme 1); Being with a Trusted Person Helps Me (theme 2) with subthemes Just be Here with Me and Be Here and Help Me Process My Feelings; Gradually Re-Engaging with the Present Moment Helps Me (theme 3); and Sometimes I Cope by Zoning Out Even More (theme 4).

Conclusions

This is the first study to explore how adolescents cope with dissociation. All but one of the strategies were helpful in reducing dissociation duration or intensity, with some being within the adolescent’s control and some relying on trusted others to implement. Some coping strategies described by participants emphasized relational needs and developmental stage, suggesting that downward extension of adult interventions for adolescents may be inappropriate. Findings can guide the development of tailored interventions for dissociation in adolescents, ultimately improving clinical outcomes for this population.
分离通常是令人痛苦的,然而受影响的青少年如何在他们的日常生活中管理分离还不是很清楚。目的本研究旨在从青少年自身、父母和临床医生的角度描述青少年处理分离症状的策略。方法采用半结构化访谈法,对西澳某精神科门诊女性青少年患者6例(14 ~ 17岁,M = 15.67)、3名家长和4名临床医生进行访谈。进行反身性主题分析。结果青少年、家长和临床医生的研究结果是一致的。四个主题反映了青少年用来应对分离的不同策略:应对需要是适合我的(主题1);和一个值得信任的人在一起对我有帮助(主题2)和子主题就在这里和我在一起,在这里帮助我处理我的感受;逐渐地重新参与现在的时刻对我有帮助(主题3);有时我甚至会更加神游(主题4)。这是第一个探讨青少年如何应对分离的研究。除了一种策略外,所有策略都有助于减少分离的持续时间或强度,其中一些策略在青少年的控制范围内,而另一些策略则依赖于信任的其他人来实施。参与者描述的一些应对策略强调关系需求和发展阶段,这表明成人干预措施的向下延伸可能是不合适的。研究结果可以指导针对青少年分离的量身定制的干预措施的发展,最终改善这一人群的临床结果。
