    Notes: Abstract Visual imagery is reported to play a central role in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This pilot investigation examined visual imagery ability in patients with varying degrees of posttraumatic stress. Eighty one survivors of motor vehicle accidents with either (a) diagnosed PTSD, (b) diagnosed Specific Phobia, or (c) no psychiatric diagnosis and low anxiety were assessed on a measure of vividness of visual imagery. Low Anxiety subjects displayed superior visual imagery compared to PTSD and Specific Phobic subjects. Incidence of flashbacks and nightmares, however, was associated with visual imagery ability in PTSD subjects. Findings suggest that visual imagery ability may be associated with PTSD flashbacks. These results are discussed in terms of use of imagery-based treatments with traumatized patients, and of the need for further investigation of the role that imagery plays in posttraumatic adjustment.

    Attentional Bias in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (1997)
    Springer
    Journal of traumatic stress 10 (1997), S. 635-644

    Notes: Abstract This study investigated preferential encoding of threat material in subjects with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a modified dot-probe paradigm. This paradigm indexes attentional bias by measuring response latency to name neutral target words that are presented adjacent to or distant from threat words. Motor vehicle accident survivors with PTSD (n = 15), subclinical PTSD (n = 15), and low anxiety (n = 15) were required to name target words that were presented either adjacent to or distant from strong threat, mild threat, positive, and neutral words. PTSD subjects named targets faster when they were in close proximity to mild threat words. Results suggested that PTSD subjects' attention was drawn to the mild threat stimuli and are discussed in the context of network models of PTSD.

    An Analysis of Calls to a Vietnam Veterans' Telephone Counselling Service (1998)
    Springer
    Journal of traumatic stress 11 (1998), S. 589-596 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-6598
    Keywords: posttraumatic stress disorder ; Vietnam veterans ; crisis ; telephone counselling
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Abstract The pattern of calls to an after-hours crisis telephone service for Vietnam veterans was surveyed over a 9-week period. Not including prank and administrative calls, 274 calls were made to the service. Domestic conflict, substance abuse, traumatic memories, depression, and anger at government represented the major problems requiring counselling. Crisis intervention was required for 18% of calls because of suicide threats or threatened violence to others. The survey findings indicate that telephone counselling can be an appropriate means to provide support for many veterans who may avoid conventional counselling agencies.

    Preconscious processing of threat in posttraumatic stress disorder (1996)
    Springer
    Cognitive therapy and research 20 (1996), S. 613-623 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2819
    Keywords: attention ; anxiety ; posttraumatic stress disorder ; information processing
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Conscious and preconscious processing of threatening information in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was studied using a masked modified Stroop paradigm. Twenty subjects who had been in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) and met criteria for PTSD were compared with 20 MVA non-PTSD and 20 non-MVA subjects. PTSD subjects, but not MVA or non-MVA subjects, demonstrated greater interference on threat words in both the masked and unmasked conditions. The results suggest that preferential processing of threat-related information in PTSD occurs at a preconscious stage of processing.
