Ruminative coping as avoidance (2007, background): “For instance, Ehlers and Steil [27] suggested that rumination may be one of the major strategies of cognitive avoidance in chronic PTSD, in that it focuses on experiences surrounding the traumatic event rather than the processing of the event itself [ 25 ].”
EXPERIENTIAL AVOIDANCE AND FORGIVENESS AS MEDIATORS IN THE RELATION BETWEEN TRAUMATIC INTERPERSONAL EVENTS AND POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER SYMPTOMS (2005, background): “Although a variety of well–elaborated theoretical models of PTSD exist (e.g., Brewin, Dalgleish, & Joseph, 1996; Ehlers & Clark, 2000; Foa, Steketee, & Rothbaum, 1989), on a simple level, PTSD can be conceptualized as a failure to successfully integrate traumatic material into memory and experience.”
The Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale (ISLES): Development and Initial Validation of a New Measure (2010, neutral): “…to stressful life experiences as arising from an inability to integrate memories of the event into a coherent life story that makes sense and allows for a purposeful future (Ehlers & Clark, 2000; Janoff-Bulman, 1992; Neimeyer, 2006; Siegel, 1995; van der Kolk & van der Hart, 1991; Wigren, 1994).”
The Temporal Dynamics Model of Emotional Memory Processing: A Synthesis on the Neurobiological Basis of Stress-Induced Amnesia, Flashbulb and Traumatic Memories, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law (2007, background): “Traumatic experiences place a subject at the highest right side of the arousal-performance curves depicted in Figure 2, and they can generate intrusive memories so powerful and durable that they can have long-lasting pathological consequences which underlie anxiety and mood disorders, including depr”
Posttraumatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety of flood victims: The impact of the belief in a just world (2006, background): “ Ehlers and Clark (2000) identified a wide range of negative appraisals and cognitive styles specifically relevant for the development and maintenance of PTSD.”
The Unbidden Past (2010, background): “According to the traditional (and still prevalent) view, intrusive memories in PTSD go hand in hand with marked difficulties at voluntarily recollecting the traumatic event (e.g., Ehlers & Clark, 2000).”
Mechanisms Of Change In Cognitive Therapy: The Case Of Automatic Thought Records And Behavioural Experiments (2003, background): “…the anxiety disorders e.g. panic disorder and social phobia (Clark, 1997), obsessivecompulsive disorder (Salkovskis, Forrester, Richards, & Morrison, 1999), post-traumatic stress disorder (Ehlers & Clark, 2000); and in CT treatment for other kinds of disorder (Bennett-Levy et al., in preparation).”
A randomized clinical trial to dismantle components of cognitive processing therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder in female victims of interpersonal violence. (2008, background): “…(PTSD): (1) Improvement occurs through emotional processing of the trauma memory by way of repeated exposure, and/or (2) improvement occurs because the meaning of the event changes (Brewin, Dalgleish, & Joseph, 1996; Ehlers & Clark, 2000; Foa & Jaycox, 1999; Keane & Barlow, 2002; Resick, 2001b).”
Mental imagery in anxiety disorders (2007, methodology): “Trauma focused CBT typically involves bringing the traumatic memory imagery to mind using a technique called “imaginal reliving”, focusing on the hotspot moments (13).”
COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING WITHIN RELIVING: A TREATMENT FOR PERITRAUMATIC EMOTIONAL “HOTSPOTS” IN POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (2002, methodology): “As Ehlers and Clark (2000) indicate, there is a sensitive balance to be struck between identifying and changing appraisals and ensuring that the reliving is thorough enough to activate all the emotional components of the memory, to achieve fuller emotional processing.”
