Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Trauma Studies

Background:

  • Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) involves PTSD symptoms and self-organization disturbances.
  • Effective treatment strategies for CPTSD are currently limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review psychological interventions for CPTSD in children, adolescents, and adults.
  • To identify effective therapeutic modalities and their applicability across age groups.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of international studies.
  • Searched PubMed and Google Scholar adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Included 6 studies exploring various psychological interventions.

Main Results:

  • Interventions included trauma-focused CBT, prolonged exposure, skills training, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and somatic therapies.
  • Children and adolescents benefited from structured, phase-based approaches.
  • Adults often required longer interventions for profound therapeutic processes.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological interventions are effective for CPTSD symptoms.
  • Limited treatments target CPTSD's unique self-organization deficits.
  • Future research should focus on developing tailored interventions for these specific features.
