ABSTRACT

A novel understanding and therapeutic approach to the treatment of PTSD-related flashback triggers are described. Triggered responses are conceptualized as the result of latent dissociative structures of neural organization and psychodynamic functioning activated by current events. The dissociative structure – here described as a dissociated ego state (DES) – reflects a fracturing of executive functioning resulting in a delimited aspect of self that is not under cognitive control or subject to cognitive inhibition by the self of daily experience, and is the psychological construct behind intrusive PTSD symptoms. Use of a mindful attentional state permits regulated access to the DES (therapeutic engagement without risk of emotional dysregulation) so that dissociated cognitive resources can be recovered and the dissociated structure deactivated. This may relieve maladaptive responses and behaviors associated with the DES in a profound and durable way, without the need for exposure to or recovery of traumatic memories. Based on this understanding, a 9-step intervention is introduced with a case example of a Vietnam veteran suffering PTSD symptoms for 49 years with significant gains maintained at 21 months follow up. These findings demonstrate rapid and durable resolution of chronic PTSD symptoms through a mindfulness-based approach that focused on deactivation of dissociated ego states, in contrast to targeting trauma memories. If proven efficacious, this novel approach may result in reduced treatment costs and improved outcomes for veterans suffering with PTSD.

分离的自我状态的解决缓解了与战斗有关的创伤后应激障碍中与闪回相关的症状:基于正念的简短干预

摘要

描述了一种新颖的理解和治疗方法,用于治疗与PTSD相关的反冲触发器。触发响应的概念化是由时事激活的神经组织和心理动力功能的潜在分离结构的结果。分离性结构(这里称为分离性自我状态(DES))反映了执行功能的断裂,导致自我的有限方面不受认知控制或不受日常经验的自我的认知抑制,这是心理上的构造侵入性PTSD症状的背后。注意注意力状态的使用允许有规律地进入DES(治疗参与,而没有情绪失调的风险),因此可以恢复离体的认知资源,并使离体的结构失活。这可以以深刻而持久的方式缓解与DES相关的适应不良反应和行为,而无需接触或恢复创伤性记忆。基于这种理解,引入了9个步骤的干预措施,并以越南退伍军人经历PTSD症状长达49年的案例为例,并在21个月的随访中取得了显着进展。这些发现表明,通过以正念为基础的方法可以快速,持久地解决慢性创伤后应激障碍的症状,该方法侧重于解除自我状态的失活,而不是针对创伤记忆。如果被证明是有效的,这种新颖的方法可能会降低患有PTSD的退伍军人的治疗费用并改善结局。无需接触或恢复创伤性记忆。基于这种理解,引入了9个步骤的干预措施,并以越南退伍军人经历PTSD症状长达49年的案例为例,并在21个月的随访中取得了显着进展。这些发现表明,通过以正念为基础的方法可以快速,持久地解决慢性创伤后应激障碍的症状,该方法侧重于解除自我状态的失活,而不是针对创伤记忆。如果被证明是有效的,这种新颖的方法可能会降低患有PTSD的退伍军人的治疗费用并改善结局。无需接触或恢复创伤性记忆。基于这种理解,引入了9个步骤的干预措施,并以越南退伍军人经历PTSD症状长达49年的案例为例,并在21个月的随访中取得了显着进展。这些发现表明,通过以正念为基础的方法可以快速,持久地解决慢性创伤后应激障碍的症状,该方法侧重于解除自我状态的失活,而不是针对创伤记忆。如果被证明是有效的,这种新颖的方法可能会降低患有PTSD的退伍军人的治疗费用并改善结局。引入了9个步骤的干预措施,并以越南退伍军人经历PTSD症状长达49年的案例为例,并在21个月的随访中取得了显着进展。这些发现表明,通过以正念为基础的方法可以快速,持久地解决慢性创伤后应激障碍的症状,该方法侧重于解除自我状态的失活,而不是针对创伤记忆。如果被证明是有效的,这种新颖的方法可能会降低患有PTSD的退伍军人的治疗费用并改善结局。引入了9个步骤的干预措施,并以越南退伍军人经历PTSD症状长达49年的案例为例,并在21个月的随访中取得了显着进展。这些发现表明,通过以正念为基础的方法可以快速,持久地解决慢性创伤后应激障碍的症状,该方法侧重于解除自我状态的失活,而不是针对创伤记忆。如果被证明是有效的,这种新颖的方法可能会降低患有PTSD的退伍军人的治疗费用并改善结局。
