Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: What Symptomatological Specificities (StuCoTra)

A better understanding of the Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder would allow a management as close as possible to the specificities of this one, but also a better training of professionals and adapted therapeutic indications.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Psychiatric Health
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: clinical population

Detailed Description

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder manifests itself in a multitude of symptoms and self-regulation difficulties in various domains (somatization and biological balance, attention and consciousness, regulation of affects and impulses, interpersonal relationships and relational capacities, perception of the aggressor and of the aggression, self-perception and identity, sense and belief system) as well as profound changes in personality and various comorbidities .In addition, dissociation, the origin and the resulting disorders also have some similarities to Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Indeed, dissociation is thought to have a traumatic origin and the symptomatology (eg hyperesthesia, dissociative amnesia, anesthesia) is included in Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. We can then ask ourselves the following questions: is Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder a dissociative disorder in its own right causing difficulties with self-regulation? What is the share of dissociation in Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
