Disorder (PTSD): An Analysis of Trauma Content And Resulting Symptomatology.

This study began testing the Sewell and Williams (in press) model that differing
trauma types yield differing presentations in social versus event processing domains.
Other hypotheses explored trauma type with levels of guilt, and shame-proneness with
anxiety. Volunteers were 44 male combat veterans being treated for PTSD. Data
analyses determined whether trauma type related to guilt and perceived social support
and whether shame-proneness related to levels of anxiety. High shame persons may
process anxiety and social support differently than low shame persons. Results can assist
professionals understand how a person's functioning is affected by certain types of
trauma. Future research should focus on increasing social support for persons who have
experienced trauma.
