“…Investigators also were considering experimental laboratory models that focused primarily on human and animal physiological responses to stress. Horowitz and colleagues (Horowitz, 1974(Horowitz, , 1975(Horowitz, , 1976(Horowitz, , 1986Horowitz & Becker, 1971;Horowitz, Wilner, Kaltreider & Alvarez, 1980) began to show the important parallels that exist between human responses to traumatic war experiences and a wide variety of other stressors including bereavement, assault and accidents. A comprehensive model for understanding human responses to stress began to emerge that included physiological, cognitive, social, and cultural perspectives drawn from diverse theoretical points of view (Boehnlein, 1989).…”

Epidemiological studies and theoretical models of refugee trauma based on ethnographic, biomedical and sociopolitical perspectives have focused on a variety of cultural and ethnic groups since World War II. Subjective distress and problems in psychosocial functioning are influenced by individual, fam ily, cultural and social variables. Refugees are at risk for developing psychiatric illness resulting from pre-migration, migration and post-migration experiences. This paper reviews biological, psychological and sociocultural models for recog nizing, conceptualizing and treating the psychiatric problems of traumatized refugees. The treatment approach of the Oregon Indochinese Psychiatric Program is summarized.

“…An important unanswered question concerns the issue of differential vulnerability to psychosis among those who have survived massive trauma. Differential vulnerability in PTSD itself (without accompanying psychosis) still remains an important unanswered research and clinical question, although there are a number of theoretical models which have been proposed (van der Kolk et al, 1984;van der Kolk et al, 1985;Kolb and Mutalipassi, 1982;Blanchard et al, 1982;Horowitz and Becker, 1971;Horowitz, 1986) which have begun to give us a more comprehensive understanding of this complex disorder. Specifically, severe trauma may result in changes in central and automatic nervous system physiology in individuals who have a genetically determined lower threshold to the effects of extreme environmental stimuli.…”

Of 100 consecutive Cambodian patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), seven had severe persistent psychotic symptoms. Those with psychosis did not differ demographically or in severity of trauma from those without psychosis. The behavior of these seven patients was disruptive to their families; all required hospitalizations and were difficult to treat. This report as well as other clinical literature indicate that psychosis, usually associated with PTSD, is an infrequent but definite occurrence after massive psychological trauma.
