The Biology of Trauma: Implications for Treatment & Prevention
Professor Richard Bryant

Access to Lectures | Speaker

Acute stress disorder (ASD) describes initial stress reactions that are predictive of chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recent biological models of posttraumatic stress have pointed to the importance of acute reactions in the genesis and maintenance of PTSD. This presentation will review prevailing biological models of trauma response, with specific focus on fear conditioning models. There will be a review of empirical studies of biological markers of adaptive and maladaptive responses to trauma. These studies will include studies of heart rate, neuroimaging, and startle response.
