This document reviews research on diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options for Post Cult Trauma Syndrome (PCTS), including those informed by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) research. It summarizes findings on neuroimaging techniques for PTSD diagnosis and treatments such as neurofeedback, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), emotional freedom techniques, and somatic techniques. The document concludes that former group members struggling with PCTS may benefit from PTSD research findings and therapies, as well as trauma-specific therapies, which could open new avenues of study.

Treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a medical condition that affects a person’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
There are many treatments available; however, the most common treatments are psychotherapy and/or medication.
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a treatment in which people work with trained behavorial health
providers to discuss their problems and learn new skills. While there are a variety of psychotherapies available to treat
PTSD, some have been proven to be more effective than others. There are also several medications that are effective
in treating PTSD. This handout provides basic information on treatments recommended as most effective by the VA/

London iCAAD 2019 - Daniel Souery - A TRANSDIAGNOSTIC APPROACH FOR PSYCHIATRI...iCAADEvents
Diagnostic approaches applied in psychiatry are often criticized and deemed unsatisfactory because of their relative lack of reliability and validity. One reason for this complexity lies in the purely symptomatic approach to diagnosis. This approach also results in misdiagnosis, difficulties and high risk of aberrant therapeutic choices. The problem is also the source of great difficulty in differentiating the normal from the pathological in situations of emotional and psychological distress that should not be the subject of a psychiatric diagnosis.

Many people throughout the world experience some type of depression in their lives and it is one of the most common mental disorders. The current statistic show that depression is linked to genetic, environmental, biological and is also psychological. Depression can ben found with any age person. A small child or an adult may have to deal with the depression that is affecting them. Chemical imbalances in the brain is the leading cause for a person dealing with the depressive order. The neurotransmitter is the what we call the communicator between the brain and the limbic system. Researchers study the limbic system in the brain as this is where depression starts; especially for anxiety and stress. The 3 major neurotransmitters; serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine all have direct relations with a persons’ depression and anxiety.
Serotonin plays a crucial role in our brain. It is associated with many physical actions that we may portray. The actions associated with serotonin are mood altering, sleeping patterns, eating disorders, and aggression. If a persons’ serotonin levels decrease, they may experience these depressive symptoms. This can also make persons have a feeling of self-worth and suicidal feelings.
Another transmitter in the brain which is associated with the depressive disorder is dopamine. This is the part of the brain that deals with our motivation and how we gain the feeling of self-worth and self-pleasure. Early studies suggested that an existence of neurotransmitter norepinephrine deficiency in some certain areas of the brain resulted in depression. One main cause of depression is the reduction in the concentration of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. The decrease in the concentration of these neurotransmitters leads to disturbed neuronal signal processing which leads to alterations in the structure of the neuronal networks. These basic changes are accepted to be one of the fundamental purposes behind sorrow. The emergence of neuroimaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and functional fMRI, established the importance of the ‘neurocircuit of emotion’ which has been expanded to include other important brain areas and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). These brain sites and their connections, which have been widely studied, are responsible for maintaining emotional stability and their malfunction is considered central to the pathophysiology of depression (Palazidou, E., 2012).
Recent follow up studies also shows that there is a group of individuals with a depression disorder who exhibit low levels of the chemical norepinephrine. In autopsy studies, it has been shown that in comparison,.

Effects of Mindfulness Yoga vs Stretching and Resistance Training Exercises on Anxiety and Depression for People With Parkinson Disease : A Randomized Clinical Trial - Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disease with heterogeneous symptomatology.1
Although PD is characterized by 4 motor symptoms (resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability), patients with PD experience a variety of nonmotor symptoms, including neuropsychiatric problems, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, and autonomic dysfunction.
Psychological distress, including anxiety and depression (frequently co-occuring), is common in patients with PD, with a prevalence of 40% to 50%,2 and is associated with care dependency, poor work and social function, fast physical and cognitive decline, increased dementia risk, and high mortality.
A Mindful Way to Staying Mentally Healthy at UniversityBarry Tse
A deck prepared for an online talk given to the University of Liverpool students and staff in Feb 2022 Feel Good Month. The talk touched on common psychological issues identified in a recent study in the UK and explained some of the problems that plagued our modern lifestyle. Secular mindfulness is then introduced as a tool to regain control of our declining ability to focus and our stress response that has constantly been put on hyperdrive due to our evolution, neurological wiring, and psychological processes needed for our survival.

Segment from a Panel on how SGAs approach ForgivenessCynthia Kunsman
As a child in Word of Faith, my reading materials at age 8 and 9 included "Talking to the Devil" and writing on NDE. As a Second Generation Adult, my parents gave me what they had in abundance to build my sense of self. Before I had a "good enough" one, I could not truly forgive anyone. Many problems also arise from the conflation of forgiveness and reconciliation, terms used in the language of the day to describe financial transactions. As Corrie ten Boom comments on Viktor Frankyl, if life is a tapestry, and transcendence comes about by trusting in the right side of what our lives speak about us in time instead of only focusing on the knots and mess on the wrong side.

Demanding Duggar Cradle to Troubled Teen Home: Overcoming the Baptist Myth of...Cynthia Kunsman
JULY 1 2016 Panel at ICSA Annual Conference
Cable television's Learning Channel publicizes the wholesome facade of family through the Duggar Family's "19 Kids and Counting" show, but few viewers understand the dark underbelly of their formulaic, high demand ideology. Considering this reality show family as a prototype and their deep roots in the Independent Baptist movement, this presentation will delve into the variety of extreme measures used to enforce their panacea of a mythical family ideal.
With a special focus on corporal punishment and the incarceration of children in "troubled teen industry" homes, two Second Generation Adult survivors of this system will recount their experiences within this religious movement. This presentation specifically endeavors to highlight the unique recovery needs of those who have endured the profound trauma of the Baptist residential teen home experience. Janet Heimlich will explore the challenges of addressing and preventing this variety of Religious Child Maltreatment.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
