  • Markus Burgmer Department of Psychosomatics, University Hospital Münster, Münster, Germany
Abstract:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder which might occur in subjects after experiencing a traumatic life event. The underlying etiology of this disorder is still unknown but malfunction of the brain’s anxiety network is discussed. Therefore, neuroscience research might give new insights about the neurobiological mechanisms of PTSD. The talk will give a systematic overview about the neuroscientific research of the past 20 years, the neurobiological hypotheses which are currently favored and the upcoming questions which should be answered in future studies.

Understanding the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder and trauma cognitions: The impact of thought control strategies.

Several models of PTSD suggest that dysfunctional beliefs play an important role in the maintenance of PTSD. This study examined whether thought control strategies intermediated in the relationship between PTSD and dysfunctional cognitions. It was hypothesized that PTSD would be positively associated with dysfunctional cognitions and that negative thought control strategies (worry and self-puni...
