Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Klinische Psychologie & Psychotherapie

Zusammenfassung

Das Kapitel gibt einen Überblick über die Definition, Ätiologie und Behandlung der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS). Zu den Kernsymptomen der Störung gehören Symptome des Wiedererlebens des Traumas, Vermeidung sowie Symptome der Übererregung. Aktuelle ätiologische Modelle betonen die Rolle kognitiver Faktoren (vor allem Merkmale des Traumagedächtnisses und traumabezogene Bewertungen) sowie psychobiologischer Prozesse bei der Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung der Störung. Behandlung erster Wahl ist die traumafokussierte Psychotherapie, bei der die Verarbeitung der Traumaerinnerung sowie die Veränderung traumabezogener Kognitionen im Vordergrund stehen. Die PTBS lässt sich auf diese Weise sehr wirksam behandeln. Das Kapitel geht auch auf offene Fragen und wichtige Forschungsthemen ein, z. B. aktuelle Diskussionen zur Definition von Trauma und PTBS, sowie die Ätiologie und Behandlung der komplexen posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung.
