Komplexe Traumafolgestörungen, 2. Auflage

The standard work on the topic of trauma-related disorders. Comprehensive: Diagnosis and therapy of the wide spectrum of trauma-related disorders. New in the 2nd edition: Continuous updates to ICD-11, new contributions on sexual abuse in the church context, on social legal conditions for victim support, and from the perspective of those affected. Experiences of severe violence and neglect, especially in childhood and adolescence, can lead to a variety of psychological and psychosomatic symptoms. Typical consequences include problems with affect regulation, self-acceptance, feelings of shame and guilt, as well as difficulties in interpersonal relationships. It is not uncommon for those affected to also suffer from physical complaints without sufficient organic cause. Anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders, or addiction disorders are also part of this broad spectrum of complaints that can be summarized under the term complex trauma-related disorders. The multitude of simultaneously occurring symptoms and the high level of impairment of the patients pose a challenge for diagnosis and therapy. This standard work provides a comprehensive and practice-oriented overview of the entire range of consequences of severe and prolonged traumatization and their treatment. Psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and trauma therapists thus receive a valuable tool to safely diagnose and successfully treat complex trauma-related disorders. In the second updated edition, the contributions have been revised and updated to the current state of research, as well as adapted to the new diagnostic classification WHO (ICD-11), which now also includes the diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder as an independent diagnosis. The extensive standard work has been expanded to include contributions on the conditions and consequences of sexual abuse in the church context, as well as on social legal conditions.
