Therefore, we evaluated effects two adult on Modes.Method: Participants (n = 114) Imagery Rescripting Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (IREM)...
Childhood maltreatment is relatively common and related to a range of negative consequences, such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There are indications that various types PTSD severity, although not all types, emotional abuse, meet the Criterion-A.The aim present study was examine relationship between 5 childhood (i.e., sexual, physical, physical neglect) severity adult symptoms.Adult participants (N = 147) with Childhood-related (Ch-PTSD) recruited from clinical sites completed...
We studied the mechanisms of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) imagery rescripting (ImRs). hypothesized that EMDR works via changes in memory vividness, ImRs encapsulated beliefs (EB), both treatments work distress. Patients (N = 155) with childhood-related posttraumatic stress disorder (Ch-PTSD) received 12 sessions or ImRs. The distress, EB related to index trauma were measured Imagery Interview. PTSD severity was assessed Impact Events Scale-Revised...

Sudden gains, defined as large and stable improvements in symptom severity during psychological treatment, have consistently been found to be associated with better outcomes across treatments diagnoses.

We...
The relationship between trauma-related negative cognitions and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has been studied frequently.
