Post-concussion symptoms (PCS) and posttraumatic stress (PTSS) are common after mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) in children. Psychological factors, especially pre-injury trait anxiety, associated with the development of PCS PTSS. However, underlying mechanisms understudied. The current study aimed to explore whether alexithymia (difficulty identifying describing emotions) moderates associations between children's anxiety PCS, as well PTSS bothchildren parents following mTBI....

Persistent postconcussive symptoms (PPCS) are a set of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral that often follow mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Some these also occur in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study examined the unique contribution mTBI PTSD to PPCS. roles neurocognitive motivational factors were addressed.Sixty one children adolescents (ages 6-18), at least 3 months post motor vehicle accident (MVA), participated study.

Abstract Selective mutism (SM) is a poorly understood condition, and debate continues regarding its etiology classification. Research suggests that genetic vulnerability may play role in the development of disorder which be compounded by anxious over-protective parenting.

Guided by ecocultural models development, current study aimed to construct a theory-based description SM while considering individual, family, contextual risk factors. Participants were 78 children with (38.4% background), 247 typically developed (18.2% background). Consistent previous studies, our results suggest that anxiety was...

To test the hypothesis that Integrated Behavior Therapy for Children with Selective Mutism (IBTSM), administered in a naturalistic setting, is (a) feasible and acceptable treatment, (b) effective reducing children’s selective mutism (SM) social anxiety (SA) symptoms, (c) parents’ accommodation behaviors to their anxiety. This was an open, uncontrolled trial assessments at baseline, first session, post-treatment. The study treated 30 children aged 4–13, using IBTSM protocol. diagnosis of SM...

Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are common conditions following motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). Mild TBI PTSD not only share similar features but may also coexist interact. Nonetheless, research on psychotherapeutic interventions for in patients with a history of mTBI, particularly regarding pediatric populations, is limited. The present study compared the efficacy prolonged exposure treatment protocol children adolescents (PE‐A) mTBI ( n...

Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are frequent sequelae after motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). These two pathologies often have overlapping neurocognitive deficits across several domains, such as attention, memory, executive functions. The present study was an effort to examine the contribution of gender these symptoms. To this end, psychodiagnostic neuropsychological data were collected on 61 children adolescents 3 months following MVA. All...

Victims of traumatic events are often involved in litigation processes and pursuit for financial compensation. These conditions were identified as associated with elevated distress symptom over-reporting among patients diagnosed PTSD.

Sayer reviewed some empirically supported explanations this effect: First, trauma survivors who file claims found to be...
