Purpose of the study. Development of theoretical and methodological foundations for integrating the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with various approaches to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder existing in Western psychology; correlation of semantic fields of the concepts “stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress disorder” in order to isolate the concept of “post-traumatic stress” into an independent category; determining the place of this category in the structure of psychological knowledge; a comprehensive empirical study of the psychological characteristics of post-traumatic stress (PTS).

Object of study. Psychological consequences of human exposure to psychotraumatic stressors of high intensity (combatants, participants in the liquidation of a nuclear power plant accident, refugees, patients with breast cancer (BC), children with traumatic experience, firefighters, rescuers, military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), manifested as a continuum consisting of various types of mental maladaptation, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

Subject of study. Post-traumatic stress, understood as a symptom complex, the content of which represents a set of interrelated psychological characteristics: anxiety, emotional instability, depression, basic beliefs and psychopathological parameters (measured by SCL-90_R).

Research hypothesis. The basis for the integration of different ideas about post-traumatic stress can be the knowledge accumulated in different traditions of domestic clinical psychology with different concepts and directions for the study of mental trauma and its consequences in foreign psychology, among which post-traumatic stress disorder is one of the most severe. The existing different approaches to this problem do not contradict each other, but reflect individual aspects of this phenomenon.

CRITICISM AND BIBLIOGRAPHY

REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH BY N.V. TARABRINA "PSYCHOLOGY OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS: THEORY AND PRACTICE." M.: INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOLOGY RAS, 2009. - 304 p.

The psychology of post-traumatic stress (PTS) is one of the most popular areas of scientific psychology in terms of its theoretical orientation and practical implementation. Its importance is obvious and is due, first of all, to the fact that recently the likelihood of developing PTS in humans has been increasing. This process is caused, firstly, by the emergence of new variants of high-intensity stressors and, secondly, by the increasing impact of such events on humans in almost all countries.

In the monograph N.V. Tarabrina presents theoretical ideas and empirical data confirming the need for further development of the psychology of post-traumatic stress as a new scientific direction in clinical psychology. The author specifically emphasizes that, in contrast to foreign research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the work of a team of employees of the laboratory of post-traumatic stress at the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences is aimed at studying post-traumatic stress as a psychological syndrome, which cannot be described in terms of a narrow clinical approach, but is studied as a system of psychological features. It is shown that PTS, being a psychological picture of post-traumatic disorder and including the clinical symptoms of PTSD, is broader in content than PTSD and represents a continuum of mental states of mental maladjustment of different types and levels.

New approaches and research in this area lead to the need to differentiate not only PTS and PTSD, but also PTS and stress. Works specifically devoted to stress include references to Selye's research, however, this kind of continuity of ideas in the field of stress, according to the author's comments, is problematic, since Selye largely studied physiological responses to physical and humoral stimuli. Separating research done on the problem of psychological stress, on the one hand, and on post-traumatic stress, on the other

parties, N.V. Tarabrina considers it more correct from a theoretical point of view to use the term “stress” to denote an immediate reaction to a stressor, and “post-traumatic stress” to refer to the delayed consequences of traumatic stress. Work on the problem of stress and PTS also has different methodological foundations: many studies on traumatic stress are focused on assessing the relationship between trauma and the disorders to which it leads, on assessing the degree of traumatogenicity of an event to a greater extent than on the stressogenicity of this event. It is shown that research in the field of stress is predominantly experimental in nature, and work on the problem of traumatic stress is naturalistic and retrospective.

The monograph analyzes psychodynamic, cognitive models of mental trauma, and biological models of PTSD. It is stated that only a systematic understanding of this phenomenon using data from the natural sciences and humanities in psychology makes it possible to adequately present and explain various manifestations of PTSD, such as: (A) intense fear, helplessness or horror when faced with events leading to death or the threat of death, threat of serious injury, threat to the physical integrity of others; (B) repeated and obsessive replay of the event, corresponding images, thoughts and perceptions, causing severe emotional experiences; recurring severe dreams about the event, the presence of “flashback effects”; physiological reactivity in situations that externally or internally symbolize aspects of the traumatic event; (C) constant avoidance of stimuli associated with trauma and blocking of emotional reactions, “numbing”; efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations related to the trauma; avoiding activities, places, or people that trigger memories of the trauma; psychogenic amnesia; feeling detached or “distant” from other people; feeling of lack of prospects

tives in the future; (D) symptoms of increasing agitation; (E) the duration of the disorder is more than one month; (p severe emotional state or disturbances in social, professional or other important areas of life. It is noted that the general patterns of the occurrence and development of PTSD do not depend on what specific traumatic events caused psychological and psychosomatic disorders. All that matters is that these events were extreme in nature, went beyond ordinary human experiences and caused intense fear for one’s life, horror and a feeling of helplessness.

The methodological tools described in detail in the monograph seem invaluable. This is a set of techniques, translated into Russian and tested in the laboratory of psychology of post-traumatic stress at the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The complex included methods aimed at measuring the signs and level of PTSD (SCID, SHOVTS, Mississippi Scale for Assessing Post-Traumatic Reactions, Clinical Diagnostic Scale for PTSD, etc.), psychodiagnostic methods for assessing the level of psychopathological signs (BSL-90-Y, Beck Depression Inventory) , methods for studying personal and cognitive parameters (Spielberger-Khanin Situational and Personal Anxiety Scales, Basic Beliefs Scale, Terrorist Threat Experience Questionnaire, etc.).

The monograph provides an epidemiological picture of PTSD, highlighting its predictors (environmental and demographic factors, history of psychiatric disorders, personality characteristics, dissociations, cognitive, biological and genetic risk factors). Based on theoretical and empirical material, the symptoms of PTSD manifestation that are common to different traumatological situations are revealed, the specificity of its manifestation in sexual violence, military and radiation threats, severe somatic diseases, and the terrorist threat is determined. The features of PTSD in children and the causes of its occurrence are described in detail.

Using methods for diagnosing signs of PTSD, identifying clinical symptoms and a wide range of personal characteristics, it was shown that only a high level of PTS is associated with the characteristics of psychopathological symptoms, the general level of psychological distress, and indicators of depression. For-

The hypothesis that psychological symptoms are the result of the traumatic impact of stressors and appears in conjunction with PTSD symptoms is simulated and proven. This means that post-traumatic stress can be rightfully considered as a symptom complex that arises as a result of exposure to high-intensity stressors.

The results of a study conducted by American colleagues (R. Pitman et al.) on monozygotic twins - veterans of the Vietnam War showed that a high level of psychopathological symptoms is observed only in those veterans who participated in combat and have symptoms of PTSD, unlike their brothers who did not serve in Vietnam, and from control samples of twins. The data obtained are consistent with the results of studies conducted by N.V. Tarabrina: the level of severity of psychopathological symptoms is the result of the traumatic impact of high-intensity stressors, which indicates the legitimacy of considering post-traumatic stress as a psychological neoplasm.

The PTS theory makes it possible to identify, explore and take into account a person’s capabilities, mechanisms for maintaining a state of satisfactory functioning, ways of coping with problems, as well as analyze techniques and efforts aimed at integrating trauma and further at the progressive development of the individual. The psychology of PTS works not only with diagnosis, but also with prognosis. In this sense, the position of modern psychology, focused on the study of positive personal resources, can be strengthened only with a clear understanding of a person’s real life, in which events of varying degrees of difficulty occur. It is by difficult events that one can “measure” the degree of a person’s mental and physical health and determine the measure of his positivity. R. Spitz wrote that the cognitive and personal development of a child is possible only at a certain level of his frustration, which is an impulse for personal growth. It does not at all follow from this that difficulties and obstacles should be created artificially. This means that studying PTSD as a phenomenon of life allows us to bring us closer to understanding life satisfaction, to assessing mental health and well-being, taking into account the real capabilities of a person, his nature, resources, potentials and boundaries.

From the history of the development of scientific ideas about traumatic experience, it is known that the strategy of avoiding mention of trauma and displacing it from consciousness is certainly the most appropriate during the acute period of stressor influence. It helps maintain a more or less optimal level of personality functioning immediately after trauma. However, from the point of view of N.V. Tarabrina, if subsequently traumatic memories remain unintegrated into the individual’s cognitive scheme and do not undergo changes over time, victims remain “frozen” in the trauma as an actual experience and do not accept it as something belonging to the past. This provision has both theoretical and practical significance, revealing the mechanisms of processing trauma and contributing to the creation of programs to provide adequate and highly professional psychotherapeutic assistance to victims.

Research by N.V. Tarabrina take into account global experience in studying issues of psycho-traumatization and allow us to determine the possibilities of reducing the threat of the destructive influence of high-intensity stressors on the individual. According to N.V. Tarabrina, one and

Introduction to the work

Relevance. Currently, the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with the most significant areas of world, mainly Western, psychology is a priority task for a wide range of specialists.

Acute and pressing problems of modern psychiatry and clinical psychology, the solution of which necessarily involves such integration, are associated with the study of the psychological consequences of the impact of high-intensity psychotraumatic stressors on a person who has become a participant or witness to catastrophic situations (Bekhterev, 1915; Gannushkin, 1927; Aleksandrovsky et al. , 1991; Lntsyferova, 1994; Molyako, 1992; Idrisov, Krasnov, 2004; Ababkov, Perret, 2004; Bodrov, 2006; Smirnov, 1999; Tarabrina, Lazebnaya, 1992; Tarabrina, 2001, 2004, 2007; Krystal, 196 8, 1978 ; Pitman, Orr, 1987; Van der Kolk et al., 1996; Keane, 1988).

The likelihood of any person getting into a traumatic situation in the modern world is constantly increasing, and this poses the challenge for specialists of various profiles to develop adequate methods for diagnosing and treating emerging pathological consequences.

Despite the fact that the number of studies devoted to the study of the psychological consequences of a person’s stay in a traumatic situation has been rapidly increasing over the past decades, many theoretical and methodological aspects of this problem remain either unresolved or debatable.

In domestic psychology and psychiatry, interest in research in this

area has increased due to the introduction of the category into scientific discourse

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the 80s of the past

century PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder - PTSD) was included as

independent nosological unit in the American classifier

mental disorders, and in the mid-90s PTSD became part of the International

classification of mental and behavioral disorders (ICD-10).

This has caused an avalanche-like growth in the number of clinical, psychological, socio-psychological, cultural studies carried out within the framework of a new scientific and practical direction - “traumatic stress”, which is currently being intensively developed.

The inclusion of PTSD in classifiers has been controversial among different clinicians in different countries; Along with the noticeable progress of research in this area, the debatability of the problems associated with them is increasing. This is especially true for the semantic field of traumatic stress, the problems of the dose-response model, the inclusion of guilt in the register of post-traumatic symptoms, the possible influence of brain disorders, the effect of stress hormones, memory distortions when diagnosing PTSD resulting from sexual abuse in early childhood, the influence of the socio-political situation in society on the diagnosis of PTSD, etc. (Krystal, 1978; Pitman, Orr, 1993; Brcslau, Davis, 1992; McFarlain, 1988; Everly, Horowitz, 1989). The number of countries using the diagnosis of PTSD in clinical practice increased between 1983 and 1987, and from 1998 to 2002 from 7 to 39 (Figueira et.al., 2007). The identified trend of growth in research in the field of PTSD is primarily associated with the growth of international terrorist activity.

Most of the work on PTSD is devoted to the epidemiology, etiology, dynamics, diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. Research is carried out on a wide variety of populations: participants in combat operations, victims of violence and torture, man-made and man-made disasters, patients with life-threatening diseases, refugees, firefighters, rescuers, etc.

The main concepts used by researchers working in this area are “trauma,” “traumatic stress,” “traumatic stressors,” “traumatic situations,” and “post-traumatic stress disorder.”

However, as many researchers point out, the consequences of a person’s exposure to traumatic situations are not limited to the development of acute

stress disorder (OSD) or PTSD (which is usually comorbid with depression, panic disorder and substance abuse); The range of clinical manifestations of the consequences of super-extreme effects on the human psyche is, of course, a dash and still requires further comprehensive and interdisciplinary research.

The relevance of this study is due, firstly, to the high socio-economic significance of the problem in modern society; secondly, the need for a holistic theoretical and methodological analysis and integration of various directions in the field of studying the psychological consequences of a person’s stay in traumatic situations and a differentiated approach to understanding this phenomenon; thirdly, the need to develop a scientifically based classification of post-traumatic cognitive-emotional-personal changes in the human psyche, which is especially important when choosing targets for psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic work.

Purpose of the study- development of an integrative approach to studying
psychological aspects of post-traumatic stress, which includes:
complex theoretical and empirical study of the phenomenon

Poet Traumatic Stress (PTS); theoretical and methodological justification for the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with existing foreign approaches to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder; correlation of semantic fields of the concepts “stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress disorder”; separating the concept of “post-traumatic stress” into an independent category; determining the place of this category in the structure of psychological knowledge.

Object of study- psychological consequences of human exposure to high-intensity psychotraumatic stressors (combatants, participants in the liquidation of a nuclear power plant accident, refugees, patients with breast cancer (BC), children with traumatic

experience, firefighters, rescuers, military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), manifesting itself as a continuum consisting of various types of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

Subject of study- post-traumatic stress, understood as a symptom complex, the content of which represents a set of interrelated psychological characteristics such as anxiety, emotional instability, depression, basic beliefs and a number of psychopathological parameters,

1. Theoretical and methodological analysis of various areas of research
post-traumatic stress in the context of the development of clinical concepts
about post-traumatic stress disorder.

2. Analysis of the interrelations and relationships of the concepts “stress”, “trauma”,

“post-traumatic stress disorder”, “traumatic and post-traumatic stress” and determining the grounds for identifying “post-traumatic stress” as an independent category.

3. Analysis and systematization of modern empirical research
psychological consequences of experienced traumatic stress in order to
highlighting the main promising directions and approaches in this area
psychological spiders.

4. Development of a set of psychodiagnostic methods aimed at
determination of psychological characteristics of PTS.

An empirical study of age, demographic, individual psychological, emotional, cognitive and personal characteristics, as well as the study and comparison of the characteristics of the life perspective of individuals who have experienced various types of traumatic stress.

An empirical study of the dependence of the level of PTS on the probability of risk of traumatic exposure, as well as on a complex of social, age, individual psychological and cognitive-personal factors.

7. Establishment of individual psychological and personal characteristics,
level of professional preparedness as factors preventing
development of PTSD

8. Study of the relationships between psychological characteristics of the individual
(anxiety, extraversion/introversion, neuroticism), signs
post-traumatic stress, previous traumatic experiences with
the intensity of the experience of the terrorist threat.

Theoretical and methodological basis of the study made up
subject-activity position (Rubinstein, Brushlinsky, Znakov,
Sergienko), systemic (Lomov, Zavalishina, Ponomarev, Barabanshchikov.) and
syndromic-psychological approaches (Vygotsky, Luria, Polyakov);
principles of personality integrity developed in Russian psychology
(Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, Ananyev, Myasishchev, Karvasarsky),

biopsychosocial approach to mental pathology (Perret, Kholmogorova); ideas of domestic scientists about the internal picture of the disease and the impact of severe somatic diseases on the human psyche (Luria, Nikolaeva, Tkhostov, Sokolova, etc.); ideas of cognitive psychology about the formation of mental pathology and PTSD (Beck, Ellis, Janoff-Bulman, Piaget); the concept of stress (Selye, Lazarus, Bodrov, Ababkov), as well as principles and approaches to the development of problems of post-traumatic stress (Pitman, Van der IColk, Derogatis, K.eane, etc.), theoretical ideas and practical achievements of the psycho-oncological direction and ideas about multifactorial determination of the etiology and course of cancer (Greer, Cella, Holland, etc.).

In terms of theoretical and methodological analysis, the work used nomothetic and ideographic research methods, systemic, subject-active and biopsychosocial approaches. Since in Russian psychology there were no adequate psychological tools suitable for measuring the parameters of post-traumatic

stress, then part of this work consisted of translating and adapting existing and well-proven foreign methods, as well as developing original methods. The methodological complex used in this work includes the following blocks:

1) Methods aimed at measuring signs and levels of PTS:
Structured Clinical Interview - SCID (Structured Clinical
Interview for DSM-1II-R); Clinical Assessment of PTSD Scale (CAPS:
Clinical - Administered PTSD Scale); Subjective Severity Rating Scale
impact of a traumatic event, SHOVTS (Impact of event scale - revised,
IOES-R); Mississippi scale - military and civilian version (MS,
Mississippi Scale); Life Experience Questionnaire
Questionnaire, LEQ).

2) Methods aimed at studying psychopathological
characteristics:
Questionnaire on the severity of psychopathological symptoms
(SCL-90-R, Symptom Check List); Beck Depression Inventory
Depression Inventory (BDI).

3) Methods for studying personal and cognitive parameters:
Personality Questionnaire (adapted version of Eysenck's technique)
Personality Inventory, EPI); Basic Beliefs Scale, World
Assumption Scale, WAS); Situational and Personal Anxiety Questionnaire
Spielberger-Khanin (LT, ST); Terrorist Experience Questionnaire
threats - OPTU (Questionnaire developed by N.V. Tarabrina in collaboration with
Yu.V.Bykhovsts).

3) Methods for studying PTS in children: A semi-structured interview to identify signs of post-traumatic stress in children - GIIVIIIPSD was developed (by Shchepina and Makarchuk); Questionnaire of the structure of temperament V.M. Rusalova (OST); Method of progressive matrices Ravsna (PMR); Children's version of the Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Test (PF-study); Bass-Darkie Questionnaire (BDQ); Kondash Anxiety Scale (CT); Modified Dembo-Rubinstein Self-Esteem Test (MTS); Drawing

Statistical data processing was carried out using the SPSS-10 software package and included analysis of the significance of differences and correlation analysis.

An integrative approach to the study of clinical-psychological, cognitive-emotional and personal phenomena in different social contexts made it possible to combine modern psychometric diagnostics, qualitative analysis of observation materials, surveys, expert assessments, and taking into account external criteria.

The personal participation of the author of the dissertation was in the development of methodological principles of the study, in justifying the adequacy of the approaches used to the problem of the psychology of post-traumatic stress, in organizing and conducting cycles of empirical research, in adapting clinical-psychological interviews and psychodiagnostic methods for a Russian-speaking sample, statistical, psychological analysis, interpretation of results and their generalization.

General theoretical hypotheses of the study:

At the present stage of development of psychological science, an effective study of the phenomenon of post-traumatic stress as one of the psychological consequences of exposure to high-intensity stressors on a person involves the integration of knowledge accumulated in different traditions of domestic clinical psychology with various foreign concepts and directions in the study of mental trauma and its consequences; The existing different approaches to this problem do not contradict each other, but reflect individual aspects of this phenomenon.

The psychological consequences of human exposure to extreme traumatic stressors at a high level of intensity are a continuum representing various types of mental maladaptation, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

3. The main differential diagnostic parameter,
characterizing the YGGSR at the psychological level are emotional-
personal changes in a person that reflect a violation of integrity
individuality. This violation is determined by the fact that, under conditions
exposure to high intensity stressors a person as a subject
loses the ability to effectively perform its integrating functions.

1. Complex developed and tested in research
psychodiagnostic methods are reliable and valid
psychological tools that allow differentiated measurement
intensity of existing post-traumatic stress, highlight pas
on this basis, individuals (or groups of individuals) with high levels of PTS and
determine the targets of psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic work with
them.

2. Level of post-traumatic stress, determined using
developed complex of psychodiagnostic methods, due to
socio-demographic, personal, emotional-cognitive and
psychopathological characteristics.

The pattern of relationships between psychological characteristics, determined using the developed set of methods, can be considered as an empirical model (symptom complex) of post-traumatic stress.

A high level of PTS (MS), associated with personal and situational anxiety (STAI), with a number of psychopathological characteristics (SCL-90-R) and the severity of signs of depression (BD1), corresponds with the clinical picture of PTSD.

A low PTS indicator, which does not have such connections, characterizes individuals who are resistant (resilient) to the psychotraumatic effects of high-intensity stressors.

Scientific novelty. An integrative approach implemented using
theoretical and methodological analysis of the achievements of domestic clinical
psychology and foreign approaches to the study of mental trauma and its
consequences carried out in the context of the development of clinical ideas about
post-traumatic stress disorder, combined with complex
empirical study of psychological characteristics

post-traumatic stress allowed the development of a new scientific direction - the psychology of post-traumatic stress.

For the first time, an analysis of the interrelations and relationships of the content of the concepts “stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress disorder” was carried out, on the basis of which “post-traumatic stress” was singled out as an independent category and its place in the structure of psychological knowledge was determined.

For the first time, based on theoretical analysis and generalization of the results of empirical research, it has been shown that the psychological consequences of exposure to extreme, traumatic external and internal factors of a high level of intensity on a person manifest themselves in a continuum, representing different types and degrees of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

For the first time, the assumption has been put forward and confirmed that at the psychological level, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder are represented by a set of interrelated psychological characteristics - a symptom complex included in the semantic field of the concept of “post-traumatic stress”.

For the first time in Russian psychology, within the framework of a Russian-American cross-cultural project, a comprehensive study was conducted aimed at determining PTS among participants in combat operations in Afghanistan.

For the first time, it has been shown that traumatic experiences are internalized at different hierarchical levels of the human psyche depending on the type of stressors: “event” and “invisible”. “Event” stress is caused by the direct perception of a stressor; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).

For the first time, the psychological consequences of experiencing the stress of a radiation threat among participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident have been studied.

For the first time, based on the results of an empirical study, it has been shown that the level and characteristics of post-traumatic stress in people who have experienced a traumatic situation associated with an immediate threat to life (combatants in Afghanistan, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, refugees and breast cancer patients), significantly higher than similar parameters obtained during examination of persons whose professional activities are associated with an increased risk of getting into traumatic situations (poe/sarnyh And military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

For the first time in Russian psychology, empirical confirmation has been obtained from foreign research data that the diagnosis of cancer is one of the extreme psychotraumatic stressors, as a result of which some

patients develop PTS; a high level of PTS corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.

For the first time, the manifestations of post-traumatic stress in children aged 11-13 years who have experienced various traumatic situations have been studied; the specificity of the development of post-traumatic stress in them, due to age, gender and individual psychological characteristics, has been shown.

Theoretical significance. The theoretical and empirical justification for a new scientific direction in clinical psychology is presented - the psychology of post-traumatic stress, which has its own subject of study, structure and system of concepts, its own boundaries and areas of research, methodological foundations and methodological means of research. The problem of post-traumatic stress is considered and analyzed from the perspective of integrating the achievements of domestic clinical psychology and various foreign approaches to the study of mental trauma and its consequences. The work was carried out in the context of the development of clinical concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder in combination with a comprehensive empirical study of the psychological characteristics of post-traumatic stress.

The integrative approach implemented in the study made it possible to consider post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex reflecting the impaired integrity of a person as a result of the traumatic impact of high-intensity stressors, causing such a level of emotional-cognitive and personal changes that make the integrative-regulatory function of a person as a subject difficult.

Practical significance of the study. The results obtained in this work make it possible to use methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis of signs of traumatic stress in both adults and children. The results of the study are of interest for psychological, pedagogical, psychotherapeutic practice and

social work, are widely used in the creation of training courses and workshops for students of psychological, practical and clinical psychological specialties.

The data obtained in this study are important for the development of individual psychological rehabilitation programs for various populations exposed to high-intensity stressors, for the timely identification of a group at risk for developing post-stress conditions and the determination of psychotherapeutic strategies for working with them. The developed complex of clinical, psychological and psychodiagnostic methods is valuable for researchers, making it possible to include them in a set of psychodiagnostic tools for working with people who have experienced traumatic stress. The results of the study are implemented:

In practice of the Moscow Psychological Service, in practice

methodological elaboration of the problem; using

complementary research methods; meaningful comparative analysis of the phenomenology of the phenomenon and connections identified on an extensive representative sample (n=2000 when adapting methods and n=1245 in empirical research).

The validity of the data is determined by the adequacy of measurements, careful statistical processing of the material; re-checking individual doubtful results; correlation of quantitative and qualitative data, reproducibility of a number of results obtained by foreign and domestic researchers.

Provisions submitted for defense. The defense is presented on the theoretical and empirical basis of a new scientific direction in medical psychology - “psychology of post-traumatic stress: an integrative approach.”

1. In this study, the integrative approach is implemented through
consideration of post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex,
reflecting the violated integrity of a person as a result
psychotraumatic effects of high-intensity stressors,
causing such a level of emotional-cognitive and personal
changes in which a person as a subject loses the ability
carry out the main integrating function. Psychological
consequences of human exposure to extreme psychotraumatic
factors of high intensity level are represented by a continuum,
consisting of various types of mental maladaptation, one of which
is post-traumatic stress.

2. At the psychological level, symptoms of post-traumatic
stress disorder are a set of interrelated
characteristics - symptom complex - included in the semantic field
category "post-traumatic stress". Developed and tested in
research, a complex of psychodiagnostic methods allows us to determine
various aspects of this symptom complex and set targets
psychotherapeutic assistance.

3. Internalization of traumatic effects occurs at different
hierarchical levels of the human psyche depending on the type of stressors:
"event" and "invisible". “Event” stress is caused by experiencing

directly perceived stressor through the senses; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective - emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).

4. The psychological picture of post-traumatic stress under the influence of different types of stressors - “event” and “invisible” - is different.

4.1. High levels of post-traumatic stress caused by participation
in combat (“event” stress), manifests itself in the form
symptom complex of interrelated psychological characteristics
(high anxiety, deirressivism, a number of psychopathological symptoms),
corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD, as well as alcohol
addiction. The combination of these signs is not observed in the group
veterans without PTSD. Basic parameters of psychological state
participants in the fighting in Afghanistan, identified in this work, in
generally similar to the results of American studies of veterans^
Vietnam War.

4.2. PTSD caused by “invisible stress”
radiation threat among participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at
Chernobyl nuclear power plant, differs from PTSD, which forms when exposed to
“event” stressors (war stress, disasters, etc.). Consequences
exposure to a stressor not perceived by the senses (“invisible”
stressor), are more mediated by individual-personal
features and are characterized by a high level of symptoms
physiological excitability. At the same time, the semantics of symptoms
predominantly associated with anxiety about the future.

4.3. Differences in the psychological presentation of post-traumatic stress
under the influence of different types of stressors (“event” and “invisible”)
especially manifested in the phenomenon of a shortened life perspective.
Experiencing war trauma most of all deforms the emotional

component of future perspective, while the ability to plan for the future is generally preserved. Experiencing the stress of the radiation threat does not cause significant differences in this parameter in connection with the diagnosis of PTSD: planning for the future includes possible trauma associated with a threat to health or life in both cases. When assessing the emotional component of their life prospects, “liquidators” with signs of PTSD experience the prospect of living alone more acutely and are more dependent on their health status. 5. Currently, the register of traumatic stressors includes the terrorist threat, which is formed under the influence of information about terrorist attacks in the media and other means of communication. It has been established that high intensity of experience of a terrorist threat is associated with signs of PTS.

6. Extreme psychotraumatic stressors also include the diagnosis of cancer, which leads to the development of PTSD in some patients. It has been shown that in patients with breast cancer (BC) a high level of post-traumatic stress corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.

6.1. Psychological characteristics of PTS caused by threatening
diseases of life, associated with certain cognitive-personal

characteristics and basic beliefs. The level of education

is negatively associated with the intensity of PTS, and the number of previous life stresses and the intensity of their impact on a person’s life correlate with the severity of PTS that occurs in response to the diagnosis of cancer.

6.2. Differentiation of breast cancer patients by PTS intensity
allows you to identify a risk group, which is characterized by the level of PTS,
corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD, and develop methods
individualized psychological assistance to these patients.

7. The psychological picture of post-traumatic stress and its intensity is determined by socio-demographic, cognitive-personal and emotional characteristics.

7.1 Groups with high, average and low rates of post-traumatic stress differ significantly in all measured parameters: quantitative indicators of socio-demographic and psychological characteristics, as well as the specificity of the relationships between them obtained by the correlation method. Emotionally unstable, introverted individuals, prone to experiencing negative emotions, suffering from various manifestations of psychopathological symptoms, are more susceptible to intense experiences of traumatic effects.

7.2. The severity of post-traumatic stress in survivors
direct threat to the life of participants in combat operations in
Afghanistan, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, refugees and patients
breast cancer (injured group) - significantly higher
similar parameters obtained during examination of persons
whose professional activities are associated with increased risk
getting into traumatic situations - firefighters and military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
("at-risk groups").

7.3. Post-traumatic stress in children who have experienced various
traumatic situations, characterized by the presence of stable relationships
(patterns) between individual psychological characteristics and
level of PTS of high and medium intensity. These patterns include:
level of intellectual development, a number of temperamental characteristics
(social pace, social desirability, plasticity), various types
responding to a frustrating situation. Factors contributing to
development of PTS are: low level of intellectual development,
increased anxiety, low level of family support, impaired
family structure, gender - PTSD occurs more often in girls than in boys.

8. Development of a holistic psychological concept

post-traumatic stress involves the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with approaches developed in Western psychology to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder as one of the most severe consequences of mental trauma. Different directions in PTSD research do not contradict each other, they are complementary - they present individual aspects of this phenomenon.

PART 1. THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS.

Currently, the number of man-made disasters and “hot spots” in various regions of the planet has sharply increased. The world is literally being overwhelmed by an epidemic of serious crimes against individuals. These situations are characterized, first of all, by an extremely extreme impact on the human psyche, causing him traumatic stress, the psychological consequences of which, in its extreme manifestation, are expressed in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Post-traumatic stress, the characteristics of which correspond to the clinical picture of PTSD, occurs as a protracted or delayed reaction to situations involving a serious threat to life or health. The intensity of the stress impact in these cases is so great that personal characteristics or previous neurotic states no longer play a decisive role in the genesis of PTSD. Their presence may contribute to its development or be reflected in the clinical picture. However, PTSD can develop in catastrophic circumstances in almost any person, even in the complete absence of an obvious personal predisposition. Patients with PTSD may come to the attention of doctors of various profiles, since its psychological manifestations are usually accompanied by psychosomatic disorders. The general patterns of the emergence and development of PTSD do not depend on what specific traumatic events caused psychological and psychosomatic disorders. All that matters is that these events were of an extreme nature, beyond the limits of ordinary human experience and caused intense fear for one's life, horror and a sense of helplessness.

Over the past decades, the number of scientific and practical studies devoted to traumatic and post-traumatic stress has sharply increased in world science. It can be said that research in

The field of traumatic stress and its consequences for humans has emerged as an independent interdisciplinary field of science. In our country, despite the high relevance of this problem, its development is at an early stage; there are separate scientific teams of psychologists and psychiatrists who study post-traumatic states in people who have been subjected to various types of mental trauma.

Introduction of the dissertation (part of the abstract) on the topic “Psychology of post-traumatic stress: an integrative approach”

Relevance. Currently, the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with the most significant areas of world, mainly Western, psychology is a priority task for a wide range of specialists.

Acute and pressing problems of modern psychiatry and clinical psychology, the solution of which necessarily involves such integration, are associated with the study of the psychological consequences of the impact of high-intensity psychotraumatic stressors on a person who has become a participant or witness to catastrophic situations (Bekhterev, 1915; Gapnushkip, 1927; Aleksandrovsky et al. , 1991; Lptsyferova, 1994; Molyako, 1992; Idrisov, Krasnov, 2004; Ababkov, Perret, 2004; Bodrov, 2006; Smirnov, 1999; Tarabripa, Lazebnaya, 1992; Tarabrina, 2001, 2004, 2007; Krystal, 196 8, 1978 ; Pitman, Orr, 1987; Van der Kolk et al., 1996; ICeane, 1988).

The likelihood of any person getting into a traumatic situation in the modern world is constantly increasing, and this poses the challenge for specialists of various profiles to develop adequate methods for diagnosing and treating emerging pathological consequences.

Despite the fact that the number of studies devoted to the study of the psychological consequences of a person’s stay in a traumatic situation has been rapidly increasing over the past decades, many theoretical and methodological aspects of this problem remain either unresolved or debatable.

In Russian psychology and psychiatry, interest in research in this area has increased due to the introduction of the category of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) into scientific discourse. In the 80s of the last century, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder - PTSD) was included as an independent nosological unit in the American Classification of Mental Disorders, and in the mid-90s PTSD was included in the International Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders (ICD-10) . 5

This has caused an avalanche-like growth in the number of clinical, psychological, socio-psychological, cultural studies carried out within the framework of a new scientific and practical direction - “traumatic stress”, which is currently being intensively developed.

The inclusion of PTSD in classifiers has been controversial among different clinicians in different countries; Along with the noticeable progress of research in this area, the debatability of the problems associated with them is increasing. This is especially true for the semantic field of traumatic stress, the problems of the dose-response model, the inclusion of guilt in the register of post-traumatic symptoms, the possible influence of brain disorders, the effect of stress hormones, memory distortions when diagnosing PTSD resulting from sexual abuse in early childhood, the influence of the socio-political situation in society on the diagnosis of PTSD, etc. (Krystal, 1978; Pitman, Orr, 1993; Breslau, Davis, 1992; McFarlain, 1988; Everly, Horowitz, 1989). The number of countries using the diagnosis of PTSD in clinical practice increased between 1983 and 1987, and from 1998 to 2002 from 7 to 39 (Figueira et.al., 2007). The identified trend of growth in research in the field of PTSD is primarily associated with the growth of international terrorist activity.

Most of the work on PTSD is devoted to the epidemiology, etiology, dynamics, diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. Research is carried out on a wide variety of coptingites: combatants, victims of violence and torture, man-made and man-made disasters, patients with life-threatening diseases, refugees, firefighters, rescuers, etc.

The main concepts used by researchers working in this area are “trauma,” “traumatic stress,” “traumatic stressors,” “traumatic situations,” and “post-traumatic stress disorder.”

However, as many researchers point out, the consequences of a person’s exposure to traumatic situations are not limited to the development of acute stress disorder (ASD) or PTSD (which, as a rule, is comorbid with depression, panic disorder and substance dependence); The range of clinical manifestations of the consequences of super-extreme exposure to the human psyche is, of course, thyrsus and still requires further comprehensive and interdisciplinary research.

The relevance of this study is due, firstly, to the high socio-economic significance of the problem in modern society; secondly, the need for a holistic theoretical and methodological analysis and integration of various directions in the field of studying the psychological consequences of a person’s stay in traumatic situations and a differentiated approach to understanding this phenomenon; thirdly, the need to develop a scientifically based classification of post-traumatic cognitive-psychological-personal changes in the human psyche, which is especially important when choosing targets for psychocorrection and psychotherapeutic work.

The purpose of the study is to develop an integrative approach to the study of the psychological aspects of post-traumatic stress, which includes: a comprehensive theoretical and empirical study of the phenomenon of post-traumatic stress (PTS); theoretical and methodological justification for the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with existing foreign approaches to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder; correlation of semantic fields of the concepts “stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress disorder”; separating the concept of “post-traumatic stress” into an independent category; determining the place of this category in the structure of psychological knowledge.

The object of the study is the psychological consequences of exposure to high-intensity psychotraumatic stressors on a person (combatants, participants in the liquidation of a nuclear power plant accident, refugees, patients with breast cancer (BC), children with traumatic experience, firefighters, rescuers, military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), manifested as a continuum , consisting of various types of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

The subject of the study is post-traumatic stress, understood as a symptom-comilex, the content of which represents a set of interrelated psychological characteristics such as anxiety, emotional instability, de-resistance, basic beliefs and a number of psychopathological parameters. Research objectives:

1. Theoretical and methodological analysis of various areas of research on post-traumatic stress in the context of the development of clinical concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder.

2. Analysis of the interrelations and relationships of the concepts “stress”, “trauma”, post-traumatic stress disorder”, “traumatic and post-traumatic stress” and determination of the grounds for identifying “post-traumatic stress” as an independent category.

3. Analysis and systematization of modern empirical research into the psychological consequences of experienced traumatic stress, highlighting the main promising directions and approaches in this area of ​​psychological science.

4. Development of a set of psychodiagnostic methods aimed at determining the psychological characteristics of G1TS.

5. Empirical study of age, demographic, individual psychological, emotional, cognitive and personal characteristics, as well as the study and comparison of the characteristics of the life perspective of persons who have experienced various types of traumatic stress.

6. Empirical study of the dependence of the level of PTS on the probability of risk of traumatic exposure, as well as on a complex of social, age, individual psychological and cognitive-personal factors.

7. Establishment of individual psychological and personal characteristics, level of professional preparedness as factors hindering the development of P"GSR

8. Study of the relationships between psychological characteristics of a person (anxiety, extraversion/introversion, neuroticism), signs of post-traumatic stress, previous traumatic experience with the intensity of experiencing a terrorist threat.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of the provisions of the subject-tensional (Rubinshtein, Brushlinsky, Znakov, Sergienko), systemic (Lomov, Zavalishina, Ponomarev, Barabanshchikov.) and syndromic-psychological approaches (Vygotsky, Luria, Polyakov); the principles of personality integrity developed in Russian psychology (Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, Ananyev, Myasishchev, Karvasarsky), the biopsychosocial approach to mental pathology (Perret, Kholmogorova); ideas of domestic scientists about the internal picture of the disease and the impact of severe somatic diseases on the human psyche (Luria, Nikolaeva, Tkhostov, Sokolova, etc.); ideas of cognitive psychology about the formation of mental pathology and PTSD (Beck, Ellis, Janoff-Bulman, Piaget); the concept of stress (Selye, Lazarus, Bodrov, Ababkov), as well as principles and approaches to the development of problems of post-traumatic stress (Pitman, Van der Kolk, Derogatis, Keane, etc.), theoretical ideas and practical achievements of the psycho-oncological direction and ideas about the multifactorial determination of etiology and the course of oncological diseases (Greer, Celia, Holland, etc.).

Research methods:

In terms of theoretical and methodological analysis, the work used nomothetic and ideographic research methods, systemic, subject-activity and biopsychosocial approaches. Since domestic psychology lacked adequate psychological instruments suitable for measuring the parameters of post-traumatic stress, part of this work consisted of translating and adapting existing and well-proven foreign methods, as well as developing original methods. The methodological complex used in this work includes the following blocks:

1) Methods aimed at measuring the signs and level of G1TS: Structured clinical interview - SKID (SCID: Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-1I1-R); Scale for clinical diagnosis of P "GSR (CAPS: Clinical - Administered PTSD Scale); Scale for subjective assessment of the severity of the impact of a traumatic event, SHOVTS (Impact of event scale - revised, IOES-R); Mississippi scale - military and civilian version (MS, Mississippi Scale); Life Experience Questionnaire (LEQ).

2) Methods aimed at studying psychopathological characteristics: Questionnaire of the severity of psychopathological symptoms (SCL-90-R, Symptom Check List); Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).

3) Methods for studying personal and cognitive parameters: Personality Questionnaire (adapted version of Eysenck’s technique) (Eysenk Personality Inventory, EPI); Basic Beliefs Scale, WAS (World Assumption Scale, WAS); Spielberger-Hanin Situational and Personal Anxiety Questionnaire (LT, CT); Questionnaire for experiencing a terrorist threat - OPTU (Questionnaire developed by N.V. Tarabrina in collaboration with Yu.V. Bykhovets).

3) Methods for studying PTS in children: A semi-structured interview to identify signs of traumatic stress in children - PIVPPSD was developed (by Shchepina and Makarchuk); Questionnaire of the structure of temperament V.M. Rusalova (OST); Raven's Progressive Matrices Technique (PRM); Children's version of the Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Test (PF-study); Bass-Darkie Questionnaire (BD); Kondash Anxiety Scale (CT); Modified Dembo-Rubinstein Self-Esteem Test (MTS); Family drawing (IJC).

Statistical data processing was carried out using the SPSS-10 software package and included analysis of the significance of differences and correlation analysis.

An integrative approach to the study of clinical-psychological, cognitive-emotional and personal phenomena in different social contexts made it possible to combine modern psychometric diagnostics, qualitative analysis of observation materials, surveys, expert assessments, and taking into account external criteria.

The personal participation of the author of the dissertation was in the development of methodological principles of the study, in justifying the adequacy of the approaches used to the problem of the psychology of post-traumatic stress, in organizing and conducting cycles of empirical research, in adapting clinical-psychological interviews and psychodiagnostic methods for a Russian-speaking sample, statistical, psychological analysis, interpretation of results and their generalization.

General theoretical hypotheses of the study:

1. At the present stage of development of psychological science, an effective study of the phenomenon of post-traumatic stress as one of the psychological consequences of exposure to high-intensity stressors on a person involves the integration of knowledge accumulated in different traditions of domestic clinical psychology with various foreign concepts and directions in the study of mental trauma and its consequences; The existing different approaches to this problem do not contradict each other, but reflect individual aspects of this phenomenon.

2. The psychological consequences of exposure to extreme traumatic stressors of a high level of intensity on a person are a continuum representing various types of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

3. The main differential diagnostic parameter characterizing 1GGSD at the psychological level is the emotional and personal changes of a person, which reflect a violation of the integrity of the individual. This disorder is determined by the fact that under conditions of exposure to high-intensity stressors, a person as a subject loses the ability to effectively perform his integrating functions.

Empirical hypotheses:

1. The complex of psychodiagnostic methods developed and tested in the study represents a reliable and valid psychological toolkit that makes it possible to differentially measure the intensity of existing post-traumatic stress, to identify on this basis individuals (or groups of individuals) with a high level of PTS and to determine the targets of psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic work with them.

2. The level of post-traumatic stress, determined using a developed set of psychodiagnostic methods, is determined by socio-demographic, personal, emotional-cognitive and psychopathological characteristics.

3. The pattern of relationships between psychological characteristics, determined using the developed set of methods, can be considered as an empirical model (symptom complex) of post-traumatic stress.

4. A high level of PTS (MS), associated with personal and situational anxiety (STAI), with a number of psychopathological characteristics (SCL-90-R) and the severity of signs of depression (BDI), corresponds with the clinical picture of PTSD.

5. A low PTS indicator, which does not have such connections, characterizes individuals who are resistant (resilient) to the psychotraumatic effects of high-intensity stressors.

Scientific novelty. An integrative approach, implemented through a theoretical and methodological analysis of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology and foreign approaches to the study of mental trauma and its consequences, carried out in the context of the development of clinical concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder, in combination with a comprehensive empirical study of the psychological characteristics of post-traumatic stress, allowed us to develop a new scientific direction - psychology of post-traumatic stress.

For the first time, an analysis of the interrelations and relationships of the content of the concepts “stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress disorder” was carried out, on the basis of which “post-traumatic stress” was singled out as an independent category and its place in the structure of psychological knowledge was determined.

For the first time, based on theoretical analysis and generalization of the results of empirical research, it has been shown that the psychological consequences of a person’s exposure to extreme, traumatic external and internal factors of a high level of intensity manifest themselves in a continuum, representing different types and degrees of mental maladaptation, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

For the first time, the assumption has been put forward and confirmed that at the psychological level, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder are represented by a set of interrelated psychological characteristics - a symptom complex included in the semantic field of the concept of “post-traumatic stress”.

For the first time in Russian psychology, within the framework of a Russian-American cross-cultural project, a comprehensive study was conducted aimed at determining PTS in combatants in Afghanistan.

For the first time, it has been shown that traumatic experiences are internalized at different hierarchical levels of the human psyche depending on the type of stressors: “event” and “invisible”. “Event” stress is caused by the direct perception of a stressor; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective-emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).

For the first time, the psychological consequences of experiencing the stress of a radiation threat among participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident have been studied.

For the first time, based on the results of an empirical study, it has been shown that the level and characteristics of post-traumatic stress in people who have experienced a traumatic situation associated with an immediate threat to life (combatants in Afghanistan, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, refugees and patients with breast cancer) are significantly higher than similar ones parameters obtained during examination of persons whose professional activities are associated with an increased risk of getting into traumatic situations (firefighters and military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

For the first time in Russian psychology, empirical confirmation has been obtained from foreign research data that the diagnosis of cancer is one of the extreme psychotraumatic stressors, as a result of which some patients develop PTS; a high level of PTS corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.

For the first time, the manifestations of post-traumatic stress in children aged 11-13 years who have experienced various traumatic situations have been studied; the specificity of the development of post-traumatic stress in them, due to age, gender and individual psychological characteristics, has been shown.

Theoretical significance. The theoretical and empirical justification for a new scientific direction in clinical psychology is presented - the psychology of post-traumatic stress, which has its own subject of study, structure and system of concepts, its own boundaries and areas of research, methodological foundations and methodological means of research. The problem of post-traumatic stress is considered and analyzed from the perspective of integrating the achievements of domestic clinical psychology and various foreign approaches to the study of mental trauma and its consequences. The work was carried out in the context of the development of clinical concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder in combination with a comprehensive empirical study of the psychological characteristics of post-traumatic stress.

The integrative approach implemented in the study made it possible to consider post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex reflecting the impaired integrity of a person as a result of the traumatic impact of high-intensity stressors, causing such a level of emotional-cognitive and personal changes that make the integrative-regulatory function of a person as a subject difficult.

Practical significance of the study. The results obtained in this work make it possible to use methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis of signs of post-traumatic stress in both adults and children. The results of the study are of interest for psychological, pedagogical, psychotherapeutic practice and social work, and are widely used in creating training courses and workshops for students of psychological, practical and clinical psychological specialties.

The data obtained in this study are important for the development of individual psychological rehabilitation programs for various populations exposed to high-intensity stressors, for the timely identification of a group at risk for developing post-stress conditions and the determination of psychotherapeutic strategies for working with them. The developed complex of clinical, psychological and psychodiagnostic methods is valuable for researchers, making it possible to include them in a set of psychodiagnostic tools for working with people who have experienced traumatic stress. The results of the study are implemented:

Into the practice of the Moscow Psychological Service, the practice of the Center for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation of Combatants in Nizhnevartovsk, and the practice of the clinics of the Moscow Research Institute of Psychiatry of the Russian Health Service. The results of the study are used in the educational process of the Faculty of Psychology of the State Institute of Humanities, the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov, Transbaikal State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Faculty of Psychology of St. Petersburg State University, Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Chechen State University, Moscow Medical and Dental University.

The reliability and validity of the research results is ensured by the consistent implementation of methodological positions, theoretical and methodological elaboration of the problem; using complementary research methods; meaningful comparative analysis of the phenomenology of the phenomenon and connections identified on an extensive representative sample (r = 2000 when adapting methods and n = 1245 in empirical research).

The validity of the data is determined by the adequacy of measurements, careful statistical processing of the material; re-checking individual doubtful results; correlation of quantitative and qualitative data, reproducibility of a number of results obtained by foreign and domestic researchers.

Provisions submitted for defense. The defense is presented on the theoretical and empirical basis of a new scientific direction in medical psychology - “psychology of post-traumatic stress: an integrative approach.”

1. In this study, the integrative approach is implemented by considering post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex that reflects the impaired integrity of a person as a result of the traumatic impact of high-intensity stressors, causing such a level of emotional, cognitive and personal changes in which a person as a subject loses the ability to perform the main integrative function. The psychological consequences of exposure to extreme psychotraumatic factors of a high level of intensity on a person are represented by a continuum consisting of various types of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.

2. At the psychological level, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder represent a set of interrelated characteristics - a symptom complex -■ included in the semantic field of the category “post-traumatic stress”. A set of psychodiagnostic methods developed and tested in the study makes it possible to determine various aspects of this symptom complex and establish targets for psychotherapeutic assistance.

3. Internalization of traumatic effects occurs at different hierarchical levels of the human psyche, depending on the type of stressors: “event” and “invisible”. “Event” stress is caused by experiencing a directly perceived stressor through the senses; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective-emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).

4. The psychological picture of post-traumatic stress under the influence of different types of stressors - “event” and “invisible” - is different.

4.1. A high level of post-traumatic stress caused by participation in combat (“event” stress) manifests itself in the form of a symptom complex of interrelated psychological characteristics (high anxiety, depression, a number of psychopathological symptoms), corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD, as well as alcohol dependence. The combination of these signs is not observed in the group of veterans without PTSD. The main parameters of the psychological state of participants in combat operations in Afghanistan, identified in this work, are generally similar to the results of American studies of veterans of the Vietnam War.

4.2. PTSD, which arose under the influence of “invisible stress” of radiation damage among participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, differs from PTSD, which develops under the influence of “event” stressors (war stress, disasters, etc.). The consequences of exposure to a stressor that is not perceived by the senses (“invisible” stressor) are largely mediated by individual personal characteristics and are characterized by a high level of symptoms of physiological excitability. At the same time, the semantics of symptoms is predominantly associated with anxiety about the future.

4.3. Differences in the psychological picture of post-traumatic stress under the influence of different types of stressors (“event” and “invisible”) are especially manifested in the phenomenon of a shortened life perspective. Experiencing war trauma most of all deforms the emotional component of the future perspective, while the ability to plan for the future is generally preserved. Experiencing the stress of the radiation threat does not cause significant differences in this parameter in connection with the diagnosis of PTSD: planning for the future includes possible trauma associated with a threat to health or life in both cases. When assessing the emotional component of their life prospects, “liquidators” with signs of PTSD experience the prospect of living alone more acutely and are more dependent on their health status. 5. Currently, the register of traumatic stressors includes the terrorist threat, which is formed under the influence of information about terrorist attacks in the media and other means of communication. It has been established that high intensity of experience of a terrorist threat is associated with signs of PTS.

6. Extreme psychotraumatic stressors also include the diagnosis of cancer, which leads to the development of PTSD in some patients. It has been shown that in patients with breast cancer (BC) a high level of post-traumatic stress corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.

6.1. The psychological characteristics of PTS caused by life-threatening diseases are associated with certain cognitive-personal characteristics - basic beliefs. The level of education is negatively associated with the intensity of PTS, and the number of previous life stresses and the intensity of their impact on a person’s life correlate with the severity of PTS that occurs in response to the diagnosis of cancer.

6.2. Differentiation of breast cancer patients according to the intensity of PTS allows us to identify a risk group, which is characterized by the level of PTS corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD, and to develop methods of individualized psychological assistance for these patients.

7. The psychological picture of post-traumatic stress and its intensity is determined by socio-demographic, cognitive-personal and emotional characteristics.

7.1 Groups with high, average and low rates of post-traumatic stress differ significantly in all measured parameters: quantitative indicators of socio-demographic and psychological characteristics, as well as the specificity of the relationships between them obtained by the correlation method. Emotionally unstable, introverted individuals, prone to experiencing negative emotions, suffering from various manifestations of psychopathological symptoms, are more susceptible to intense experiences of traumatic effects.

7.2. The severity of post-traumatic stress in people who survived an immediate threat to life - participants in combat operations in Afghanistan, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, refugees and patients with breast cancer (the “traumatized” group) - is significantly higher than similar parameters obtained from examining people whose professional activities is associated with an increased risk of getting into traumatic situations - firefighters and military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (“at-risk groups”).

7.3. Post-traumatic stress in children who have experienced various traumatic situations is characterized by the presence of stable relationships (patterns) between individual psychological characteristics and the level of PTS of high and medium intensity. These patterns include: the level of intellectual development, a number of temperamental characteristics (social pace, social desirability, plasticity), various types of response to a frustrating situation. Factors contributing to the development of PTS are: low level of intellectual development, increased anxiety, low level of family support, disrupted family structure, gender - PTSD occurs more often in girls than in boys.

8. The development of a holistic psychological concept of post-traumatic stress involves the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with approaches developed in Western psychology to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder as one of the most severe consequences of mental trauma. Different directions in PTSD research do not contradict each other, they are complementary - they present individual aspects of this phenomenon.

Conclusion of the dissertation on the topic “Medical Psychology”, Tarabrina, Nadezhda Vladimirovna

1. A new scientific direction has been developed - the psychology of post-traumatic stress, which is based on the integration of the tradition existing in domestic clinical psychology of constructing a psychological picture of the clinical symptoms of a mental disorder and the main approaches to the study of mental trauma and its consequences developed in Western psychology. Different directions in the study of post-traumatic stress disorder do not contradict each other, but are complementary and represent separate aspects of this phenomenon.

1.2. At the psychological level, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder represent a set of interrelated characteristics (symptom complex), included in the semantic field of the category “post-traumatic stress”. The developed complex of psychodiagnostic methods allows us to identify various aspects of this symptom complex, differentiate individuals and groups according to the level of post-traumatic stress and determine the targets of psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic work with them.

1.3 The level of PTS is associated with personal and situational anxiety, psychopathological parameters, the severity of signs of depression and socio-demographic characteristics. A high level of post-traumatic stress corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.

2. The integrative approach is implemented at the level of considering post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex, the characteristics of which reflect, first of all, a violation of the integrity of the individual as a result of the psychotraumatic effects of high-intensity stressors. In this case, emotional-cognitive personal changes can reach such a level at which a person as a subject loses the ability to cope with his integrating function.

3. The psychological consequences of human exposure to extreme psychotraumatic factors of a high level of intensity are manifested by a continuum, representing various types of mental maladjustment, one of which is PTSD.

4. It has been established that the internalization of traumatic effects occurs at different hierarchical levels of the human psyche, depending on the type of stressors: “event” and “invisible”. “Event” stress is caused by experiencing a directly perceived stressor through the senses; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective-emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).

4.1 Differences in the psychological picture of post-traumatic stress under the influence of different types of stressors (“event” and “invisible”) are convincingly proven by the results of studying the characteristics of the phenomenon of a shortened life perspective (this is one of the symptoms of PTSD, which is more common, the higher the values ​​of post-traumatic symptoms).

4.2. The presence of mental trauma is closely related to cognitive-emotional changes in the perception of life perspective. Experiencing war trauma most of all deforms the emotional component of the future perspective, while the ability to plan for the future is generally preserved. Experiencing the stress of the radiation threat does not cause significant differences in this parameter in connection with the diagnosis of PTSD: planning for the future includes possible trauma associated with a threat to health or life in both cases. When assessing the emotional component of their life prospects, “liquidators” with signs of PTSD experience the prospect of a lonely life more acutely and are more dependent on their health.

5. A high level of post-traumatic stress caused by participation in combat (“event” stress) manifests itself in the form of a symptom complex of interrelated psychological characteristics (high anxiety, depression, a number of psychopathological symptoms) corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD. as well as alcohol addiction. The combination of these signs is not observed in the group of veterans without PTSD.

6. Features of psychophysiological reactivity are most pronounced in Afghan veterans with a high intensity of clinical symptoms of the disorder. The main parameters of the psychological state of participants in combat operations in Afghanistan are generally similar to published results obtained in American studies of Vietnam veterans.

7. It has been established that the consequences of exposure to a stressor that is not perceived by the senses (“invisible” stressor) are mediated by individual personal characteristics; The PTSD that occurs in this case differs from PTSD that is formed under the influence of “event” stressors (war stress, disasters, etc.). A feature of PTSD that occurs under the influence of “invisible stress” is a high percentage of symptoms of physiological excitability, and the semantics of the symptoms are, for the most part, associated with future life.

8. The experience of a terrorist threat, formed mainly under the influence of information about terrorist acts in the media and other means of communication, is associated in a vulnerable (emotionally unstable part of the population) with a high level of PTS symptoms, which allows us to classify the phenomenon of a terrorist threat as a traumatic stressor . It is also accompanied by negative emotions, high levels of anxiety, increased vigilance, decreased adaptive capabilities of behavior, somatic discomfort with vegetative manifestations, etc.

9. The risk of PTS (and, accordingly, PTSD) is associated with the likelihood of experiencing traumatic stress; The level of post-traumatic stress in people who have experienced a traumatic situation associated with an immediate threat to life - participants in combat operations in Afghanistan, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, refugees and cancer patients (breast cancer) - is significantly higher than in people whose professional activities are related to increased risk of getting into traumatic situations - firefighters and military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

10. Different levels of PTS (high, medium and low) correspond to different symptom complexes of psychological characteristics. They differ significantly: in socio-demographic parameters, quantitative indicators of psychological characteristics, as well as the specifics of the relationships between them obtained by the correlation method.

11. Published data from foreign studies have been confirmed that the diagnosis of cancer is one of the extreme traumatic stressors, as a result of which some patients develop post-traumatic stress of varying severity.

12. Psychological characteristics of PTS in patients with breast cancer are associated with certain cognitive-personal characteristics - basic beliefs. The level of education is negatively associated with the intensity of PTS, and the number of previous life stresses and the degree of their influence on a person’s life correlate with the severity of PTS. Differentiation of breast cancer patients according to the intensity of PTS allows us to identify a group at risk for developing PTSD and determine the targets of psychotherapeutic work with these patients.

13. The study of post-traumatic stress in children who have experienced various traumatic situations, determining its level and the specifics of its occurrence makes it possible to predict the further emotional and personal development of the child.

13.1. The presence of stable relationships (patterns) between individual psychological characteristics and high and average levels of PTS in children has been shown. These patterns include: the level of intellectual development, a number of temperamental characteristics - social tempo, social desirability, plasticity, various types of response to a frustrating situation.

13.2. Factors contributing to the development of high levels of post-traumatic stress in children have been identified: low level of intellectual development, increased anxiety, low level of family support, disrupted family structure, gender PTSD occurs more often in girls than in boys.

Conclusion

The range of problems that arise during the interaction of the medical and psychological systems tends to expand and change, which is due to both scientific achievements and demands from society. One of the “new” (the dramatic consequences of catastrophic situations on the human psyche have been known since ancient times) problems in domestic clinical psychology in recent decades has become the need to include in its subject field research into the psychological consequences of exposure to high-intensity stressors on humans.

Traditionally, these problems have mainly been studied by specialists in the field of psychological stress, who included critical life events in the list of stressors. V.A. Bodrov (2006) defines psychological stress “as a functional state of the body and psyche, which is characterized by significant disturbances in the biochemical, physiological, mental status of a person and his behavior as a result of exposure to extreme factors of a psychogenic nature (threat, danger, complexity or harmfulness of living conditions and activities)” (p. 21).

Most authors tend to consider psychological stress as a transactional process that reflects a person’s interaction with the outside world (Ababkov, Perret, 2004). The definition of psychological stress as a state and as a process is legitimate and justified, however, questions remain, which primarily relate to the need to develop differentiating criteria for the consequences of exposure to stressors, which are very different both in their intensity and in phenomenology.

As shown in the first part of this work, it was the consequences of exposure to high-intensity stressors, primarily combat stress, that served as the impetus for their consistent study, which ultimately led to the identification of PTSD as a separate nosological unit. This in turn has stimulated clinicians and psychologists to develop clinical and psychological methods for diagnosing PTSD, as well as to search for effective treatments for the disorder. A new interdisciplinary branch of science has emerged - traumatic stress, or, as some researchers believe, psychotraumatology.

The introduction of PTSD in ICD-10, on the one hand, the high social significance of the problem of the consequences of experienced traumatic stress, on the other, contribute to the intensive development of research in domestic psychology and psychiatry, which naturally relies on approaches and directions already available in foreign science.

An analysis of foreign research in this area has shown that most of the work on PTSD is devoted to the epidemiology, etiology, dynamics, diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. The semantic field of the concept “traumatic stress” includes such concepts as “trauma”, “traumatic stress”, “post-traumatic stress”, “traumatic stressors”, “traumatic situations” and “post-traumatic stress disorder”, which are contextually dependent.

Many studies have shown that the consequences of a person's exposure to traumatic situations are not limited to the development of acute stress disorder (ASD) or PTSD. Typically, PTSD is comorbid with depression, panic disorder, and substance abuse; the range of clinical manifestations of the consequences of super-extreme exposure to the human psyche is, of course, wider, and the psychological picture of the symptoms of the disorder has not been specifically studied.

One of the main achievements in domestic clinical psychology is, in our opinion, the construction of a psychological picture of a separate mental disorder, based on a theoretical and empirical study of its clinical manifestations.

In Russian psychology, a syndromic-psychological approach has been developed (based on local brain pathology), which has successfully proven its effectiveness in both theoretical and practical work (Vygotsky, 1982; Luria, 1978). Discussing the problems of clinical psychology, V.F. Polyakov, as one of its main tasks, raises the question of extending this approach to the field of clinical-psychological studies of mental disorders, proposing to consider a psychological syndrome as a “new formation” that affects a person’s life and complicates his socio-psychological adaptation (Polyakov, 1996).

In different areas of psychology, concepts such as “formation”, “pattern”, “complex”, “totality”, etc. are used to denote empirically determined interrelated psychological characteristics. One of the main tasks in clinical psychological research is to determine the psychological specificity of individual diseases, and consideration of the totality of identified psychological parameters as a “psychological syndrome” seems both legitimate and promising.

In this paper, an attempt is made to apply these approaches to the analysis of empirical studies of post-traumatic stress.

One of the most fundamental questions in all studies of post-traumatic stress in victims of various traumatic events is why some people experience post-traumatic stress reactions while others do not, i.e. how to explain the causes of this disorder, what factors predispose or contribute to its development? It is very difficult to answer this question, since the effect of many variables cannot be controlled in one study. We tried to answer this question by analyzing the relationship of the studied signs of post-traumatic stress with socio-demographic, cognitive-personal and clinical characteristics, presumably capable of influencing the processes of coping with trauma.

13 work presents the results of an empirical study of the psychological consequences of exposure to traumatic stressors, carried out on different groups of subjects. The main results of these studies include the demonstration of the differential diagnostic capabilities of the developed psychodiagnostic complex for determining the severity of post-traumatic stress, which made it possible to differentiate survivors of traumatic stress into groups with high, medium and low levels of PTS. It has been shown that only a high level of PTS corresponds with the clinical picture of PTSD.

At the same time, the PTS symptom complex also includes psychological characteristics that reflect the cognitive-personal and emotional changes of a person caused by exposure to a traumatic experience. Thus, the study presents data on the distortion of the perception of life perspective in patients with signs of PTS. The intensity of post-traumatic stress reactions is associated with the qualitative characteristics of a person’s ideas about himself, his own life and the world around him.

There are many authors who develop their own concepts of mental trauma as the destruction of cognitive-emotional circuits. Despite the lack of terminological consistency, the meaning of these concepts is that such schemes explain reality, serve as a source of trust in the world and in oneself, make the world predictable and create the preconditions for orientation to the future. Cognitive schemes are assigned a priori and a posteriori functions. In the case when the schemes are violated, a person cannot anticipate the future and make plans, since he simply has nothing to rely on, which is accompanied by an acute state of emotional distress. While cognitive-emotional schemas are deep structures, at the conscious level the perspective is represented in the form of goals, plans and life activities of the individual.

Shortened life perspective is one of the symptoms of PTSD; at the psychological level, for a person, a life perspective means the possibility of drawing up some kind of probabilistic forecast of life, a forecast of personal development. The work shows, firstly, that the shortening of life perspective is a very complex psychological phenomenon that reveals itself in both behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and personal aspects. Thus, we can consider this phenomenon not from the point of view of some deficiency or inferiority, i.e. not only from the point of view of clinical psychology, but from the point of view of a broader psychological context.

Basic scientific principles formulated by the author based on the research:

  1. The development of a holistic psychological concept of post-traumatic stress involves the integration of the achievements of domestic clinical psychology with various approaches to the study of post-traumatic stress disorder, as one of the most severe consequences of mental trauma, developed in Western psychology.
  2. The implementation of the integrative approach occurs at the level of considering post-traumatic stress as a symptom complex that reflects the impaired integrity of a person as a result of the traumatic impact of high-intensity stressors, causing such a level of emotional-cognitive personal changes in which a person as a subject fails to cope with his integrating function. Various directions in PTSD research do not contradict each other, they are complementary; they present individual aspects of this phenomenon.
  3. The psychological consequences of exposure to extreme, traumatic external and internal factors and a high level of intensity on a person are manifested in a continuum consisting of various types and levels of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress.
  4. At the psychological level, the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder represent a set of interrelated characteristics (symptom complex), included in the semantic field of the category “post-traumatic stress”. The developed complex of psychodiagnostic methods allows us to determine various aspects of this symptom complex and establish targets for psychotherapeutic assistance.
  5. Interiorization of traumatic effects occurs at different hierarchical levels of the human psyche, depending on the type of stressors: “event” and “invisible”. “Event” stress is caused by the direct perception of a stressor mainly through the human senses; “invisible” stress is caused by a subjective-emotional response to the knowledge a given person has about the threat to life to which he is exposed (for example, the radiation threat).
  6. Differences in the psychological picture of post-traumatic stress under the influence of different types of stressors are especially convincingly proven by studying the characteristics of the phenomenon of a shortened life perspective (one symptom of PTSD, which is more common, the higher the values ​​of post-traumatic symptoms).
  7. A high level of post-traumatic stress caused by participation in combat (“event” stress) is experienced in the form of a symptom complex of interrelated psychological characteristics that correspond to the clinical picture of PTSD, which are associated with higher anxiety, depression and general psychopathological symptoms, as well as alcohol dependence. The combination of these signs is not observed in the group of veterans without PTSD. The main parameters of the psychological state of combatants in Afghanistan are generally similar to published results obtained in studies of Vietnam War veterans.
  8. The consequences of exposure to a stressor not perceived by the senses (“invisible” stressor) are mediated by individual personal characteristics; PTSD, which arose under the influence of “invisible stress” of the radiation threat among participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, differs from PTSD, which develops under the influence of “event” stressors (war stress, disasters, etc.) and is characterized by a high level of symptoms of physiological excitability. At the same time, the semantics of symptoms is associated with anxiety about the future.
  9. Information about terrorist acts in the media and other means of communication forms the phenomenon of experiencing a terrorist threat. The high intensity of experiencing a terrorist threat is associated with signs of PTS, which allows us to classify the phenomenon of a terrorist threat as a traumatic stressor.
  10. The severity of post-traumatic stress in people who have experienced an immediate threat to life: participants in combat operations in Afghanistan; participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident; refugees and breast cancer patients (the “traumatized” group) are significantly higher than similar parameters obtained from examining individuals whose professional activities are associated with an increased risk of getting into traumatic situations: firefighters and military personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (the “risk” group).
  11. Diagnosis of cancer is one of the extreme psychotraumatic stressors, which determines the development of PTS in some patients; a high level of PTS corresponds to the clinical picture of PTSD.
  12. The psychological characteristics of PTS caused by life-threatening diseases are associated with certain cognitive-personal characteristics - basic beliefs. The level of education is negatively associated with the intensity of PTS, and the number of previous life stresses and the intensity of their impact on a person’s life correlate with the severity of PTS that occurs in response to the diagnosis of cancer.
  13. Differentiation of breast cancer patients according to the intensity of PTS allows us to identify a risk group, which is characterized by the level of PTS corresponding to the clinical picture of PTSD, and to develop methods of individualized psychological assistance for these patients.
  14. The psychological picture of post-traumatic stress and its intensity is determined by socio-demographic, cognitive-personal and emotional characteristics.
  15. Groups with high, average and low rates of post-traumatic stress differ significantly in all measured parameters: quantitative indicators of psychological characteristics, the specifics of the relationships between them obtained by the correlation method, and socio-demographic parameters. Emotionally unstable, introverted individuals, prone to experiencing negative emotions, suffering from various manifestations of psychopathological symptoms, are more susceptible to intense experiences of traumatic effects.
  16. Post-traumatic stress in children who have experienced various traumatic situations is characterized by the presence of stable relationships (patterns) between individual psychological characteristics and the level of PTS of high and medium intensity. These patterns include: the level of intellectual development, a number of temperamental characteristics - social pace, social desirability, plasticity, different types of response to a frustrating situation. There are factors that contribute to the development of PTS: low level of intellectual development, low level of family support, disrupted family structure, gender - PTSD occurs more often in girls than in boys, and increased anxiety.

Introduction

The range of problems arising in the interaction of medical and psychological sciences tends to expand and change, which is due to both scientific achievements and the needs of society. And although the dramatic consequences of catastrophic situations for the human psyche have been known since ancient times, one of the “new” problems in Russian clinical psychology in recent decades is related to the impact of high-intensity stressors on humans.

The likelihood of being in a traumatic situation (military and violent actions, man-made and man-made disasters, life-threatening diseases, terrorist attacks, etc.) for any person in the modern world is constantly increasing. This poses many tasks for specialists of various profiles: a comprehensive medical and psychological study of the consequences of being in such situations, the development of adequate diagnostic methods and treatment of emerging pathological consequences. The number of studies devoted to the study of the psychological consequences of a person’s exposure to a traumatic situation has been growing rapidly over the past decades. However, many theoretical and methodological aspects of this problem remain either unresolved or debatable.

Traditionally, these problems have been studied mainly by specialists in the field of psychological stress, who included critical life events in the list of stressors. Most modern authors tend to consider psychological stress as a transactional process that reflects a person’s interaction with the outside world. This definition of psychological stress is legitimate and justified, however, questions remain, which, first of all, relate to the need to establish differentiating criteria for the consequences of exposure to stressors, which are very different both in intensity and phenomenology.

As shown in the first part of this work, it was the consequences of exposure to high-intensity stressors, primarily combat stress, that served as the impetus for their consistent study, which ultimately led to the identification of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the 1980 American Psychiatric Classification of Mental Disorders as a separate nosological entity. unit (post-traumatic stress disorder - PTSD). This, in turn, has stimulated clinicians and psychologists to develop clinical and psychological methods for diagnosing PTSD, as well as to search for effective treatments for the disorder. A new interdisciplinary branch of science related to traumatic stress, or psychotraumatology, has emerged.

The inclusion of PTSD in classifiers has been controversial among different clinicians in different countries; Along with the noticeable progress of research in this area, the debatability of the problems associated with them is increasing. This is especially true for the semantic field of traumatic stress, the model of dependence of the level of reaction on the intensity of the stressor (dose-response model), the inclusion of guilt in the register of post-traumatic symptoms, the possible influence of brain disorders, the effect of stress hormones, memory distortions when diagnosing PTSD resulting from sexual violence in early childhood, the influence of the socio-political situation in society on the diagnosis of PTSD, etc.

The number of countries using the diagnosis of PTSD in clinical practice increased from 1983 to 1987, and from 7 to 39 from 1998 to 2002. The identified trend of growth in research in the field of PTSD is primarily associated with the growth of international terrorist activity.

Most of the work on PTSD is devoted to the epidemiology, etiology, dynamics, diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. Research is conducted on a wide variety of populations: participants in combat operations, victims of violence and torture, man-made and man-made disasters, patients with life-threatening diseases, refugees, firefighters, rescuers, etc.

The main concepts used by researchers working in this area are “trauma,” “traumatic stress,” “traumatic stressors,” “traumatic situations,” and “post-traumatic stress disorder.”

However, as many researchers point out, the consequences of a person's exposure to traumatic situations are not limited to the development of acute stress disorder (ASD) or PTSD (which, as a rule, is comorbid with depression, panic disorder and substance abuse); the range of clinical manifestations of the consequences of super-extreme exposure to the human psyche is, of course, wider and still requires further comprehensive and interdisciplinary research.

Post-traumatic stress, the characteristics of which correspond to the clinical picture of PTSD, occurs as a protracted or delayed reaction to situations involving a serious threat to life or health. The intensity of the stress impact in these cases is so great that personal characteristics or previous neurotic states no longer play a decisive role in the genesis of PTSD. Their presence may contribute to its development or be reflected in the clinical picture. However, PTSD can develop in catastrophic circumstances in almost any person, even in the complete absence of an obvious personal predisposition. Persons suffering from PTSD may come to the attention of doctors of various profiles, since its psychological manifestations are usually accompanied by psychosomatic disorders.

The general patterns of the emergence and development of PTSD do not depend on what specific traumatic events caused psychological and psychosomatic disorders. All that matters is that these events were of an extreme nature, beyond the limits of ordinary human experience and caused intense fear for one's life, horror and a sense of helplessness.

The continuously growing number of scientific and practical studies devoted to traumatic and post-traumatic stress has led to the separation of the field of study of traumatic stress and its consequences for humans into an independent interdisciplinary field of science. In our country, despite the high relevance of this problem, its development is at an early stage; there are separate scientific teams of psychologists and psychiatrists who study post-traumatic states in people who have been subjected to various types of mental trauma.

One of the main achievements in domestic clinical psychology is, in our opinion, the construction of a psychological picture of a separate mental disorder, based on a theoretical and empirical study of its clinical manifestations.

In Russian psychology, a syndromic psychological approach has been developed (based on local brain pathology), which has successfully proven its effectiveness in both theoretical and practical work. Discussing the problems of clinical psychology, V.F. Polyakov, as one of its main tasks, raises the question of extending this approach to the field of clinical-psychological studies of mental disorders, proposing to consider a psychological syndrome as a “new formation” that affects a person’s life and complicates his social life. psychological adaptation.

In different areas of psychology, concepts such as “formation”, “pattern”, “complex”, “totality”, etc. are used to denote empirically determined interrelated psychological characteristics. Consideration of the totality of empirically identified and interrelated psychological parameters that are the result of influence on a person high-intensity stressors (traumatic) as a “psychological syndrome” seems both legitimate and promising.

This paper attempts to apply these approaches to the analysis of empirical research on post-traumatic stress.

The relevance of studying the problems of post-traumatic stress is obvious: it is due, firstly, to the high socio-economic significance of the problem in modern society; secondly, the need for a holistic theoretical and methodological analysis and integration of various directions in the field of studying the psychological consequences of a person’s stay in traumatic situations and a differentiated approach to understanding this phenomenon; thirdly, the need to develop a scientifically based classification of post-traumatic cognitive-emotional-personal changes in the human psyche, which is especially important when choosing targets for psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic work.

Title: Psychology of Post-Traumatic Stress

About the book “Psychology of Post-Traumatic Stress” by Nadezhda Tarabrina

The monograph is devoted to presenting the results of studying post-traumatic stress (PTS) in different groups: combatants, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident, children, refugees, firefighters, rescuers, patients with breast cancer. A study of the experience of a terrorist threat is presented. Based on theoretical analysis and generalization of empirical research, it is shown that the psychological consequences of exposure to extreme, traumatic stressors of a high level of intensity on a person represent a continuum of different forms and degrees of mental maladjustment, one of which is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has been empirically established that only a high level of post-traumatic stress corresponds with the clinical picture of PTSD. The assumption has been put forward and confirmed that at the psychological level, PTSD symptoms represent a set of interrelated psychological characteristics (symptom complex) included in the semantic field of the concept of “post-traumatic stress”.
