The efficacy of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments in psychosis has not been examined a randomized clinical trial to our knowledge. Psychosis is an exclusion criterion most PTSD trials.To examine the and safety prolonged exposure (PE) therapy eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) patients with psychotic disorders comorbid PTSD.A single-blind 3 arms (N = 155), including PE therapy, EMDR waiting list (WL) 13 outpatient mental health services among lifetime current...
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with support from more than 30 published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrating its effectiveness in both adults children. Most international clinical practice guidelines recommend EMDR as a first-line treatment PTSD. This paper describes the current state of evidence therapy. We begin brief description theoretical framework. Next, we summarize...
Building on previous research with disaster-exposed children and adolescents, a randomised clinical trial was performed in the treatment of trauma-related symptoms. In current study two active treatments were compared among broad age range from wide diversity ethnic populations.The primary aim to compare effectiveness efficiency Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR).Children (n=52, aged 4-18) randomly allocated either CBT (n=26) or EMDR disaster...
Most clinicians refrain from trauma treatment for patients with psychosis because they fear symptom exacerbation and relapse. This study examined the negative side effects of trauma-focused (TF) in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Analyses were conducted on data a single-blind randomized controlled trial comparing TF (N = 108; 8 sessions prolonged exposure or eye movement desensitization) waiting list (WL; N 47) among lifetime psychotic current chronic PTSD. Symptom exacerbation, adverse...

Abstract Early identification of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children is important to offer them appropriate and timely treatment. The Children's Revised Impact Event Scale (CRIES) a brief self‐report measure designed screen for PTSD. Research regarding the diagnostic validity CRIES still insufficient, has been restricted specific populations, sample sizes have often small. This study evaluated reliability 8‐item (CRIES‐8) 13‐item (CRIES‐13) versions large clinically referred...
Studies among adults have shown that symptoms of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) are distinct from those bereavement-related depression and post-traumatic stress-disorder (PTSD).

Since children adolescents often show variety internalizing externalizing in aftermath traumatic events, question arises whether such conceptualization is supported adolescents. Furthermore, although dysfunctional cognitions PTC s) appear play an...
