This study identified distinct patterns of emotion regulation among refugees. Findings demonstrate the importance of measuring multiple strategies to uncover patterns of emotion regulation and better understand the links between emotion regulation and psychopathology, which has important implications for the development of effective treatment with traumatized refugees.

This meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) for PTSD as compared to waitlist and active comparators. The findings suggest that VRET may be as effective as active comparators for PTSD patients. However, the results must be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of trials and the substantial number of—predominantly male—military service members studied.

This study presents the development and preliminary validation of a brief self-report measure of the content of trauma-related pre-sleep thoughts: the Trauma Thoughts before Sleep Inventory (TTSI). The results support the utility of the TTSI for measuring thoughts that keep people with PTSD awake, although replication in an independent clinical sample is required.

In deze systematische review naar mechanismes van intergenerationele psychische problemen onder overlevers van de Holocaust werden 23 studies meegenomen. Verschillende ouder-en kind kenmerken en interacties bleken bij te dragen aan de ontwikkeling van psychische symptomen en biologische en epigenetische variaties.
