1.3 Introduction

Notes:

In this module, we will consider the: Potentially (or psychological) traumatic events
(PTEs) are a common occurrence and the majority of people will experience such an
event at some point in their life. PTEs occur when there is a threat, actual or
perceived, to the life or physical safety of a person, their loved ones or those around
them.

Examples of PTEs include events such as accidents, war, torture, sexual assault,
physical assault, natural disasters and terrorism. Exposure to a PTE is termed as
either direct when it is actually experienced or witnessed, or indirect when a
person is confronted with (or learns about) the event. A PTE may be a single event,
or occur repeatedly over a period of time.

Some psychological distress is common in the early period after a traumatic event
and is part of the normal human response. Following a severe traumatic event,
most people will be symptomatic for about a fortnight after the event. Commonly
experienced symptoms include emotional upset, increased anxiety, sleep and
appetite disturbance. In some cases, other reactions such as fear, guilt, sadness or
anger may be experienced.

In the majority of cases, the symptoms resolve within days or weeks with the
persons usual coping strategies and family and friends support networks. However,

in a small minority of people some residual symptoms may persist and in certain
cases the individual may develop a range of psychological problems. Amongst the
most common psychological problems are:

1. Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)

2. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD
3. Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
4. Depression

The above conditions are indications for formal psychological assessment by a

Specialist (Clinical Psychologist or Psychiatrist) and will be considered in greater
detail in this module.
