Biologische Aspekte der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung

  • Chapter
Psychotrauma

Zusammenfassung

Wie bei kaum einer anderen psychiatrischen Erkrankung zeigt sich bei der PTBS ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem auslösenden Ereignis, psychischen Auffälligkeiten und neurobiologischen Auswirkungen. So sind die biologischen Aspekte der PTBS schon längere Zeit Gegenstand der Forschung und wurden auch schon in mehreren übersichtsarbeiten beschrieben (Ehlert et al., 1999; Galley et al., 2000; van der Kolk et al., 1996).
