Medical - Psychology / Summary of patient's psychiatric report
German term or phrase: traumakonfrontativ
Hi,

Does anyone have any idea how I could put the above German term into 'passable' English?

Let me know if you need any further context. (The patient is working though traumatic events in therapy, having suffered PTSD).

Best wishes,
Alison.

trauma-confrontational/ly; using trauma-confrontational methodology
Explanation:
'Female patients diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and additional complex backgrounds mostly receive stabilizing interventions when they are transferred into German inpatient treatments. This is assuming that patients after successful stabilization will be treated afterwards with trauma-confrontational methods in an outpatient setting.'

Confronting the trauma head-on or retaliating against the offender.

As an adverb: using trauma-confrontational techniques - as an attributive adj. or predicative - all credit attributed to Lancashireman for grammatical analysis and linguistic supremacy.

exposure therapy


Explanation:
Exposure therapy is a component of cognitive-behavioral therapy that works to re-experience the individual’s past traumatic event in order for them to overcome their trauma. The therapist will ask the client to write down or discuss the traumatic events where you will re-tell your trauma. You will explore your thoughts and feelings associated with these traumatic events and may even re-create the experience through in-vivo or imaginal exposure.
{other variants include EMDR, prolonged exposure, in vivo eexposure)
https://discoverymood.com/blog/treating-trauma-exposure-ther...
The goal of exposure therapy then is to help reduce a person's fear and anxiety, with the ultimate goal of eliminating avoidance behavior and increasing quality of life. This is done by actively confronting the things that a person fears. By confronting feared situations, thoughts, and emotions, a person can learn that anxiety and fear will lessen on its own.

agree  Björn Vrooman: I think expose/exposure is closest, e.g.: https://keck.usc.edu/adolescent-trauma-training-center/treat... See also Lancashireman's suggestion in the d-box.// Saw it; intriguing!
