PTSD Research

Paper Summary:

This paper critiques a proposed study of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and explains that most of the research cited provides historical background on the development of the concept of PTSD and some on how treatment modalities were developed. The survey asserts that much of the research on treatment has focused on family dynamics as a way of providing treatment, though other research on this specific is not described.

From the Paper:

"The background for the research question being considered is well set forth, though it would clearly be possible to provide a much more extensive survey of literature, specifically on the question being asked, namely, the nature of the families of those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Most of the research cited provides historical background on the development of the concept of PTSD and some on how treatment modalities were developed. The survey asserts that much of the research on treatment has focused on family dynamics as a way of providing treatment, though other research on this specific is not described. The question being asked is very general and very descriptive, and any study undertaken to answer it would have to take the form of an extensive survey of existing research on the question along with surveys ascertaining demographic and other data on families of sufferers of PTSD."
