Affektive sindslidelser er hyppige, oftest livslange sygdomme med et episodisk forløb.

In my 30+ years of the practice of Neurology, I spent the last 20 as the medical director of a rehabilitation center, much of that directing a multidisciplinary chronic pain program.

This chapter introduces the concept of Survival Strategies. Survival Strategies are suggested to facilitate the recognition, naming, and making sense of the varied sequelae of traumatic events.

Associations of objective measures of trauma exposure with psychological sequelae following motor vehicle accidents (MVA) were examined in a Japanese population. Impact and injury severity of 93 MVA victims was assessed using on-the-scene in-depth investigations measured by the Injury Severity Score (ISS), barrier equivalent speed (BES), and change in velocity during the impact (Delta-v). Results showed that…
Formålet med referenceprogrammet er at sammenfatte og stille den seneste faglige viden/evidens og erfaring til rådighed for sundhedsvæsenet. Referenceprogrammet søger således at kortlægge, hvad der er ”god klinisk praksis” i patientbehandlingen, så denne viden kan indgå som pejlemærker og beslutningsstøtte i planlægning og tilrettelæggelsen af indsatsen for voksne med angstlidelser.
