C H A P T E R THE TRAUMATIZED PATIENT ALESSANDRA SCALMATI, M.D., PH.D Trauma is common in everyday life It can take many forms, from the unexpected loss of a loved one to a serious motor vehicle accident, the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, or being the victim of an assault Popular attention has focused on the aftermath of severe trauma such as civilian disasters, industrial explosions, natural catastrophes, terrorist attacks, life-threatening combat situations, rape, and childhood sexual abuse Many people respond to a traumatic event with an acute stress reaction or an increase in anxiety of short duration that resolves spontaneously without need for treatment Some people develop a more chronic traumatic stress response that becomes impairing and disabling Being the victim or witness of a traumatic event does not imply a pathological response or enduring psychological trauma In fact, even though close to 90% of people will be exposed to some kind of traumatic event during their lifetime, according to a survey conducted in the early 2000s to establish the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in the population, the lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was 6.8% From the beginning, an essential question of traumatic studies has been what differentiates between people who develop a disabling response to trauma and those who are more resilient in response to similar tragedies Traumatic events and their effect on the human psyche occupy center stage in the current psychiatric landscape, and it is easy to forget that until 1980 PTSD was not an acknowledged diagnosis Even though trauma, war, misfortune, loss, death, illness, and suffering are and have 339 340 • THE PSYCHIATRIC INTERVIEW IN CLINICAL PRACTICE always been common, for many millennia the stories of sorrow and heartbreak, of soul-sickness and madness, caused by life tragedies, fate capriciousness, and human cruelty were mostly the province of poetry and art, not of medicine and science It has been suggested that the interest of science in the psychological effects of trauma only became relevant when life expectancy in Western societies grew to a length that allowed for concerns other than mere physical survival It is possible that a more comfortable lifestyle, afforded by the industrial revolution, the Enlightenment—with its focus on reason—and a decrease in fatalism and the will of God as an explanation for human events, also played a role However, by the middle of the nineteenth century, psychiatrists and neurologists started describing with more interest and consistency symptoms that seemed to have their origins in past traumatic events in the patient’s life What makes the study of the psychological effects of trauma different from the study of any other mental illness is the necessity of an event outside of the human psyche to occur in order for the disorder to exist PTSD (and acute stress disorder) is the only diagnosis that requires the clinician to determine that exposure to “a traumatic event” has taken place Starting with the American Civil War, doctors reported more systematically cases of acute distress experienced by soldiers during and after combat However, military authority and society at large were quick to accuse the sufferer of cowardice, unless a medical explanation could be devised The cultural moral standard expected men to be capable and willing to fight for their country and their cause Soldiers who refused to fight or escaped from the battlefield were accused of desertion and court martialed Although it might be easy for us to scorn the preoccupation with honor of European countries at the beginning of the 1900s that allowed the unspeakable slaughter of the trenches, it is important to remember that similar ideals of masculinity, strength, and heroism still play a role in modern military culture and contribute to the obstacles veterans encounter even today in accessing and receiving care During this era, with the exception of a few studies that investigated the effects of trauma in victims of railway accidents, and in survivors of an earthquake in Southern Italy, outside of military hospitals, the other main area of investigation in the traumatic neurosis was the study of hysteria Patients suffering from hysteria, mostly women, presented with a host of confounding symptoms and many somatic complaints Contrary to war, neither sexual violence nor the abuse of children had been per se the focus of literature However, any superficial reading of fairy tales, legends, and mythology from any culture and tradition cannot fail to detect rather accurate descriptions of early life loss, abandonment, neglect, The Traumatized Patient • 341 and abuse Of course, it is a matter of debate whether this is a representation of the inner fantasies of the child, and a projection of our worse fears, or a fair appraisal of what we know to be all too common The two explanations not need to be mutually exclusive; fantasies can be not only projected but also enacted with tragic consequences At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Bronte sisters, along with Charles Dickens, offered some interesting descriptions of child abuse and neglect that were quite revolutionary for the time, particularly in a society that considered children the property of their parents and male and religious authority unquestionable However, notwithstanding some sensationalistic reporting in the news of the time, and some increase in the literature of more realistic descriptions of violence and abuse, society was not ready to accept the reality of sexual violence or child abuse as commonly occurring events Controversies surrounded the work of Jean-Martin Charcot, who had suggested that the cause of hysteria in his patients was a traumatic event, most likely a past sexual trauma After Charcot’s death, Joseph Babinski, who took over the directorship at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, declared that the cause of hysteria was a preexisting suggestibility in the patient and that women suffering from hysteria, when forced to, would abandon the symptoms These principles were embraced by French and German physicians and applied with a rather extreme level of cruelty to “treat” French and German soldiers suffering from war neurosis during World War I The “treatment” used involved the application of electric shock and was in general so painful and brutal that the soldiers preferred to go back to the trenches Pierre Janet was also a student of Charcot but followed the initial course of research and maintained the belief that hysteria was caused by a past traumatic event that had caused a “vehement emotion” that created a memory that could not be integrated into personal awareness and was split off into a dissociated state This state was not accessible to voluntary control, and the person was not able to make a “narrative of the event.” This state of affairs caused a “phobia of the memory” that failed to be integrated, but it left a trace, or idée fixe (“fixed idea”) These fixed ideas were constantly reoccurring as obsessions, reenactments, nightmares, somatic symptoms, and anxiety reactions Janet also described the patient’s hyperarousal and reactivity to triggers and reminders of the traumatic event The patient was not better until he or she could integrate the traumatic memory into consciousness Sigmund Freud studied with Charcot at the Salpêtrière, and in his early writing he initially agreed with the interpretation of hysteria symptoms as caused by an early seduction or sexual trauma However, as 342 • THE PSYCHIATRIC INTERVIEW IN CLINICAL PRACTICE Freud started focusing on infantile sexuality, he changed his view and reinterpreted hysterical symptoms as being a reaction to the fantasy of a seduction and, therefore, a defensive response to a conflict between an unconscious wish and a prohibition, not the somatic response to a trauma As far as war neurosis was concerned, Freud recognized the similarities between the symptoms of World War I veterans and those of patients with hysteria His hypothesis was that the conflict at the core of war neurosis was between a wish to survive and a wish to act honorably Freud initially hypothesized that the soldiers’ symptoms would improve once the war was over, eliminating the threat to their life and therefore resolving the conflict and rendering the symptoms obsolete Charles Myers and William Rivers are the two psychiatrists best known for their work with World War I soldiers in Britain Myers was the first to use the term shell shock Both were advocates for a more humane treatment of soldiers and a recognition of their suffering as real and not a result of cowardice or a preexisting moral weakness Abram Kardiner, an American psychiatrist, worked with World War I veterans between 1923 and 1940 He carefully described his patients’ symptoms and reported that many of these veterans had been admitted to psychiatric and medical hospitals and had received multiple diagnoses (including malingering) before a connection was made between their symptoms and the history of trauma Kardiner was the first to focus on the physiological hyperreactivity associated with traumatic reactions He described the patients’ chronic state of hypervigilance, irritability, explosive anger, and recurrent nightmares Kardiner’s descriptions include veterans reporting an overwhelming sense of futility; most of them were socially withdrawn, and intent on avoiding any possible recollection of the trauma The work of Kardiner was applied and expanded upon by a group of American and British psychiatrists working with servicemen during World War II John Spiegel, William Menninger, and Roy Grinker confirmed many of Kardiner’s observations about the state of hyperarousal and Janet’s observations about the lack of a narrative memory, even though the patients maintained a very precise somatosensory memory of the trauma that could be easily triggered Hypnosis and narcosynthesis were used to help the patients to abreact the traumatic memories However, it was noted that abreaction without integration did not result in resolution of the symptoms Studies on the psychological symptoms of Holocaust survivors started to appear almost a decade after the end of World War II and were prolific in the 1960s and 1970s The survivors were afflicted with a variety of symptoms: somatic symptoms, nightmares, hyperarousal, irritabil- The Traumatized Patient • 343 ity, social withdrawal, and extreme grief reactions (sometimes associated with the hallucinated images of dead relatives) It is important to note that this last symptom, which has been confused with psychosis as recently as the Vietnam War, is rather common in victims of massive trauma, particularly when the trauma is associated with the traumatic loss of loved ones Holocaust survivors, and veterans, who have lost beloved companions in action will speak of these visions or ghostly visitations, but they will have no other symptoms to indicate a psychotic disorder William Niederland was the first to coin the term survivor syndrome to describe the decline in function and chronic stress reaction of survivors who suffered not only psychologically but physically from a host of stress-induced maladies Henry Krystal, who was himself a survivor, described the experience of the concentration camp victim and the victim of massive trauma as one of “giving up”: in a situation of inescapable terror, when any attempt to activate the flight or fight response is futile, the mind response “is initiated by surrender to inevitable danger consisting of a numbing of self reflective functions, followed by a paralysis of all cognitive and self preserving mental functions.” Krystal also described alexithymia as a consequence of protracted trauma During this same period Robert Lifton conducted a remarkable study interviewing survivors of the atomic bomb devastation in Japan, recognizing in them a very similar preoccupation with death themes and a numbing of capacity for enjoyment and intimacy Lifton compared the reaction of the Japanese survivors with those of Holocaust survivors Meanwhile, in the United States, Burgess and Holstrom termed the symptoms of their patients who were victims of rape—and who reported nightmares, flashbacks, and hyperarousal—as rape trauma syndrome; they found these symptoms to be similar to those in many other syndromes already described Andreasen et al described the stress reaction of a burn victim Herman and Hirschman worked with victims of incest and domestic violence Kempe and Kempe published the first well-documented account of the pervasive problem of child abuse Shatan and Lifton started “rap groups” with Vietnam veterans who were tormented by nightmares, flashbacks, rage, and a growing sense of alienation Horowitz described the alternating states of reexperiencing and numbing common in trauma survivors By the time the committee for the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-III was discussing which disorders to include, there were groups lobbying for the inclusion of a “Holocaust survivors syndrome,” a “war neurosis,” a “rape trauma syndrome,” a “child abuse syndrome,” and so on As Kardiner had written with some frustration in 1947, 344 • THE PSYCHIATRIC INTERVIEW IN CLINICAL PRACTICE “[The traumatic neuroses] have been submitted to a good deal of capriciousness in public interest The public does not sustain its interest, and neither does psychiatry Hence these conditions are not subject to continuous study, but only to periodic efforts which cannot be characterized as very diligent Though not true in psychiatry generally, it is a deplorable fact that each investigator who undertakes to study these conditions considers it his sacred obligation to start from scratch and work at the problem as if no one had ever done anything with it before In fact, the fragmentation in the field had not yet reached a level of integration with the incorporation of PTSD as an official diagnosis in the DSM system PTSD was grouped with the anxiety disorders (because of the high anxiety and hyperarousal state), even though research suggested the important role of dissociation in the disorder Disputes about the appropriate placement continued for decades; field studies and evidence suggested different criteria to be included in the manual, and controversies continued to surround the diagnosis It was suggested that a second diagnosis could be introduced, that of “Complex PTSD,” to account for the more pervasive disruption in the system of meaning and personality structure observed in survivors of massive trauma It was also suggested that PTSD be moved to the dissociative disorder category In DSM-5, the trauma-related disorders occupy a separate category, between the anxiety and dissociative disorders There is a new criterion, which specifically addresses “a negative alteration in cognition and mood,” and there is an option to specify whether the disorder presents with dissociative symptoms Controversy most likely will always surround the field of trauma studies, because neither society at large nor the field of psychiatry will ever feel completely comfortable to fully address the problem of responsibility (causality/blame) for the consequences of violence However, having a diagnostic category legitimized the field, and it provided a language to standardize research and to compare results PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND PSYCHODYNAMICS Diagnosis The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD appear in Box 10–1 Table 10–1 summarizes the differences between the diagnostic criteria for PTSD in DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 The Traumatized Patient BOX 10–1 • 345 DSM-5 Criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Note: The following criteria apply to adults, adolescents, and children older than years For children years and younger, see corresponding criteria below A Exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence in one (or more) of the following ways: Directly experiencing the traumatic event(s) Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others Learning that the traumatic event(s) occurred to a close family member or close friend In cases of actual or threatened death of a family member or friend, the event(s) must have been violent or accidental Experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic event(s) (e.g., first responders collecting human remains;
