Survivor guilt remains a dynamic and crucial area of inquiry almost a decade after Murray described, in her 2018 publication in the Journal of Loss and Trauma, that in a clinic sample, 90% of PTSD patients who survived traumatic events involving fatalities experienced survivors' guilt. observed the lack of sufficient guidance in theoretical models for effective treatment strategies. We support Murray's claims and suggest that when the survivor is also a caregiver-who feels guilt for surviving and a sense of failure for not saving others-the emotional toll may be greatly complicated. In response to that, and as caregivers in warzone, we introduce a theoretical paradigm we term Wartime Caregiver Survival Guilt (WCSG), which captures the survivor's guilt and rescue fantasy among caregivers who survived a mass casualty terror event, using the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel as a case study. Caregivers who are health-care professionals and survive when others were killed often experience guilt about surviving and failing to assist patients. The October 7 attack and the subsequent war created a dual exposure to trauma-personal and professional-blurring boundaries and deepening exhaustion. Caregivers in Israeli warzone carry both survivor's guilt and rescue fantasy, now conceptualized as WCSG. This paradigm reflects the psychological and ethical dilemmas caregivers face during collective trauma, particularly in the context of war. While survivor's guilt is well-documented among trauma survivors , we argue these effects on professionals simultaneously exposed to the crisis. found that survivor's guilt intensified PTSD symptoms, depression, and suicidal ideation. This aligns with findings by Metz (2018), who noted that guilt often stems from a perceived unworthiness to have survived. In warzone, these emotional mechanisms may affect trauma survivors who are also caregivers, undermining resilience. A study on Israeli therapists after the October 7 attack demonstrated that professionals struggled to set boundaries while

The purpose of this study is the adaptation of the Teacher Irrational Belief Scale -TIBS . The scale was administered to a sample of 242 teachers from 4 high schools and 4 general schools. Our results are, on the whole, consistent with those obtained in earlier normative studies conducted on Australian population. The internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach's Alpha) for the three beliefs and the global score ranged from .48 to .74, which are adequate for using the scale in reliable conditions. The factor analysis revealed 3 principal factors for the Romanian population, related to 3 core irrational beliefs (low frustration tolerance, self -downing and other demandingness). These results are different from those reported on Australian population, where 4 factors were found -low frustration tolerance, self-downing, authoritarianism and demand for justice, but authoritarianism and demand for justice seem to describe Ellis's major irrational belief -other demandingness. The scores of TIBS are related to the scores of the Attitudes and Beliefs Scale 2 (ABS 2).

To understand the ways that EMS providers cope with pediatric death in an out-of-hospital setting, eight focus groups were conducted with 98 urban, rural, and suburban EMS providers. Sixty-eight of the participants also completed a short questionnaire about a specific event. In both the focus groups and questionnaire, participants were asked how they individually coped with the death, how they coped as a team, and what coping strategies were most and least helpful. Specific coping strategies were found to be helpful to EMS providers, and could be classified as Solve, Solace, Dismiss, and Escape based on whether they approached or avoided the problem or the emotion.

Artykuł stanowi próbę nowego odczytania powieści Pawła Huellego Weiser Dawidek poprzez „topolekturę” (Michalski). Na podstawie studium przypadku autor artykułu proponuje wyróżnienie swoistego sposobu temporalnego doświadczania przestrzeni, które łączy w sobie klasyczne koncepcje dotyczące działania pamięci, oscylujące między przeciwstawnymi biegunami – synchronii (Heidegger, Husserl) i diachronii (Marcel, Bergson). Skonfrontowanie obu sposobów percepcji czasu – w przeświadczeniu o ich potencjale do tworzenia struktury komplementarnej – z literackim zapisem doświadczenia przestrzeni w powieści Huellego pozwala, zdaniem autora, wyłonić trzeci rodzaj temporalnego doświadczenia przestrzeni jako hipermiejsca.

This study describes the development of the Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale (MDS), a 14item self-report instrument designed to gauge abnormal fantasizing. Our sample consisted of 447 English-speaking individuals from 45 different countries. A 3-correlated-factors model best presented the underlying dimensions Yearning, Kinesthesia and Impairment, capturing related rewarding experiences as well as psychological impairment of maladaptive daydreaming. MDS scores were associated with obsessive-compulsive behavior and thoughts, dissociative absorption, attention deficit, and high sense of presence during daydreaming, but less with psychotic symptoms. The MDS and its subscale demonstrated good validity, sound internal consistency and temporal stability and discriminated well between self-identified individuals with and without maladaptive daydreaming. Considering the instrument's high sensitivity and specificity levels, it seems an excellent measure for future investigation of MD that will, hopefully, shed light on the etiology and psycho-biological mechanisms involved in this mental condition, as well as on the development of effective MD treatment methods.

This paper explores the presence of translation in the work of Svetlana Alexievich, the Belarusian journalist and 2015 Nobel laureate in Literature. Amid the ongoing debate about whether her books should be categorized as fiction or non-fiction, we propose an alternative perspective on her cycle Voices from Utopia, suggesting it can be viewed as a translation of Soviet history. By applying recent translation studies theories that broaden the definition of translation beyond mere interlingual transfer, we can observe how translation operates at various levels within her texts. This process involves not only the witnesses interviewed by the writer but also extends to the readers. Specifically, through a process of (self-) translation, the interviewees describe their lived experiences, and their voices become a polyphonic chorus that offers fresh insights on the history of the USSR. Alexievich translates these oral testimonies into written documents, which then undergo multiple retranslations due to the continuous changes in narratives, in which both her audience and the author herself are immersed. These translations and retranslations ensure the afterlife of original accounts and shape the way that the readers translate history by immersing themselves in a plurality of its versions. Seeing Alexievich's historical oeuvre as a continuous flow of translations that engage everyone-from the witnesses to the readers-opens up new ways to interpret her cycle.

У статті розглянуто фізіологічне зітхання як метод реабілітації для осіб із посттравматичним стресовим розладом (ПТСР), який стає особливо актуальним в умовах воєнного стану. Фізіологічне зітхання визначено як природну дихальну техніку, що сприяє активації парасимпатичної нервової системи, стабілізації емоційного стану, зменшенню тривожності та покращенню якості сну. Дослідження західних учених підтверджують його ефективність у роботі з різними категоріями постраждалих, включаючи військових, ветеранів та цивільних осіб. Простота, доступність і відсутність потреби у спеціальному обладнанні роблять цей метод універсальним для використання в індивідуальній і груповій терапії, а також у польових умовах. Результати досліджень свідчать про значний потенціал техніки для інтеграції в українську практику, що передбачає проведення локальних досліджень та адаптацію методу до соціокультурних потреб. У статті також запропоновано рекомендації для фахівців, спрямовані на впровадження фізіологічного зітхання як базового інструменту реабілітації в умовах масових психологічних викликів.

Parental resolution" represents parents coming to terms with their child's health condition. Differences in the use of coping strategies between mothers who were resolved versus unresolved to their child's diagnosis was investigated, and a possible moderating effect of these strategies was explored. A strategy aimed at mobilizing the family to acquire and accept help (institutional, formal support) was shown to be a significant moderating variable, in a way that its more frequent use allowed mothers of children with better functional status (but not mothers of children with poorer functional status) to reach resolution.

This study set out to incorporate the collective dimensions of Posttraumatic Growth and examined the construct and predictive validity of The Individual and Collective Posttraumatic Growth Scale (ICPTGS). Participants were 332 volunteers who had experienced the earthquake on February 27th, 2010, in Chile. Analysis allowed us to confirm a multidimensional structure composed of four dimensions: an individual, spiritual, communal growth, and societal growth. Additionally, we identified association between ICPTGS, perceived emotional impact and social well-being. This study emphasises that positive changes resulting from the exposure to collective disasters can be perceived also at the collective or community level.

RIASSUNTO: Premesse teoriche: L'adolescenza rappresenta un periodo di aumentata vulnerabilità ai traumi per diverse ragioni: l'organizzazione psichica è sottoposta ad una spinta pulsionale particolarmente intensa; il distacco psicologico dalle figure genitoriali comporta spesso una fragilità nell'organizzazione del Sè; si possono riattivare traumi infantili per effetto di traumi attuali. Obiettivo: Valutare il funzionamento emotivoadattivo in un campione scolastico di adolescenti, approfondendo l'eventuale presenza di stati dissociativi e di esperienze traumatiche, e discutendo come queste ultime costituiscano un fattore di rischio per l'insorgere di disturbi psicopatologici. Metodo: Il campione esaminato è composto da 475 soggetti appartenenti ad una popolazione scolastica non referred di adolescenti tra i 14 e i 18 anni con un'età media di 15.9 anni. All'interno di un colloquio di assessment psicologico svolto durante l'orario scolastico, utilizzato al fine di evidenziare la presenza di eventuali esperienze traumatiche, sono stati somministrati agli adolescenti i seguenti strumenti self-report: Youth Self-Report 11/18 (Achenbach e Rescorla, 2001) e Dissociative Experience Scale-II (Carlson e Putnam, 1993). Risultati: I risultati delle analisi statistiche effettuate mettono in luce che: i maschi presentano in misura maggiore sintomi sul versante esternalizzante, viceversa le femmine sul versante internalizzante; si ha la presenza di esperienze dissociative particolarmente intense intorno ai 17 anni; assume un ruolo significativo specialmente il trauma individuale, che incide sul funzionamento psicologico dell'adolescente e sulla presenza di esperienze dissociative. Discussione e conclusioni: Si discute la specificità della fase evolutiva adolescenziale, con riferimento alle manifestazioni di rischio psicopatologico che possono presentarsi.

This study, done with co-author Allan Morrison, tests the hypothesis that questionnaire selfreport measures of altered stale experience are, by their very nature, affected by demand features (Orne, 1970), while interview self-report measures of subjective experience are more resistant to these vulnerabilities. It was specifically hypothesized that an interview measure would distinguish the experiences of actual meditators ("reals") from their role-playing counterparts ("roles"), while a questionnaire measure, the PCI (Pekala, 1991), would fail to so distinguish. It was further hypothesized that the order in which subjects were to complete the subjective measures would influence their PCI intensity scores, but not the content of their interviews. These hypotheses were generally confirmed. Together with additional differences between the "reals" and "roles" groups, these findings support the greater validity of more "subjective" interview methods in research on qualitative stales.

This paper explores the politicization of school reopenings in two swing states against the backdrop of rising COVID cases, public health warnings, and the hyper-partisan weaponization of “choice” rhetoric by parents to send children back into school. Rhetoric surrounding parental choice partnered with economic considerations placed significant pressure on school boards to navigate their reopening plans from a partisan frame of reference. We explore, compare, and contrast the landscape of school reopening plans in Wisconsin and Georgia, which both served as pivotal states in the contentious 2020 Presidential election. Within each state we consider two districts that are situated in either a more traditionally conservative or liberal environment. Our guiding questions are: (1) How is the conversation about school reopening reflective of politicized and polarized approaches to COVID? and, (2) How are school reopening discussions different in politically liberal and conservative commun...

This study assessed the relationship between grief and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in 2415 individuals from six Latin American countries, and how the relationship between these variables is moderated by gender and age. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-Short Form and Pandemic Grief Scale were used. Moderation analysis utilized Model 2, proposed by Hayes. The findings from the analysis indicate that the proposed regression model is statistically significant in most countries. Gender moderated the relationship between grief and PTG in El Salvador and Peru; meanwhile, age moderated this relationship in Uruguay. The findings support the importance of incorporating gender and age differences into both the theory of grief and PTG and empirical studies investigating these variables in Latin America. Furthermore, mental health professionals should consider gender and age differences when planning interventions aimed at fostering PTG in individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the evaluated countries.

This study is a phenomenological exploration of bereavement among a population of Israeli parents who became demonstratively activist following the death of their offspring either as soldiers in the line of duty or as victims of terrorism. It illuminates how an anger-forgiveness continuum gives a politically charged significance to the bereavement experience regardless of party or ideological orientation. Strong nationalist identification with the armed forces is overlaid with intense personal emotions of guilt and blame assignment. Mourning as a career may follow pathological or normative courses. Political leaders emerge who mobilize similarly situated mourners to protest against military and civilian policy related to the perceived nexus between security matters and the personal loss. The dynamic between factors which assuage personal needs and simultaneously endanger national consensus regarding the performance of leading state institutions-the government and the defense establishment-is underlined in the conditions which both facilitate and impair any transition from anger to reconciliation.

Trauma profoundly impacts mental health, influencing emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning. The emphasis of this paper is to understand the intricate relationship between trauma and mental health, emphasizing its effects on individuals and society. Trauma, whether acute, chronic, or complex, can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as exposure to violence or disasters. These experiences often lead to mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. This paper highlights the biological, psychological, and social mechanisms underlying trauma's effects and examines its long term consequences on overall well-being. Drawing from empirical studies, it also discusses interventions, including therapy, community support, and policy measures, to mitigate the adverse effects of trauma on mental health.

How does the movie Valley of Exile depict the impacts of war on human rights through the experience of displaced women? Valley of Exile, a Canadian-Lebanese movie directed by Anna Fahr, set during the years of the Syrian war, shows the journey of two sisters, Rima and Nour, who unexpectedly find themselves in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. As written in the book Projecting Politics, "it is worth noting generally that women have played more substantial, wide-ranging roles throughout the film industry than is commonly recognized." (Haas, Christensen, and Haas 314) Just as it is in Valley of Exile, which women characters are the most important subject of the film.

The literature on the trauma and loss of bereaved families of women soldiers killed during military service in combat or combat-related activities is particularly sparse. The current study thus aims to extend the knowledge base on trauma, loss, and war experiences to include the voices of bereaved family members of women soldiers and to explore the chain of events informing the relationship between the bereaved families and the military. We present a qualitative analysis of personal interviews with 23 bereaved parents or siblings of women combat-support soldiers who were killed while serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on the day of the brutal Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: the absence of information from the military to the families during the first days of war; flaws in the identification of bodies; and chaos and misinformation regarding the status of casualties. Emotional responses common to all the bereaved families included devastation, confusion, anger, a sense of insult, and a feeling of betrayal by the military and the state. The painful evidence that we present can provide empirical, theoretical and practical lessons to be learnt from the severe mistakes that were made during military warfare that involved multiple casualties. By examining the case study of the Hamas attack of October 7 and analyzing how such lessons can be applied– theoretically and practically– to the experiences of state militaries around the globe, we will contribute to securing the well-being of bereaved families.

The poem: "Koniec i początek" (Wisława Szymborska,1993, translated into Croatian: "Kraj i početak") To speak about ongoing hostilities is quite a complex and difficult task, as is the necessity of coexisting with enemies of all kinds. It is always possible to ask ourselves, time and again, whether there can be a space for the mutually exchangeable and recognisable phenomenon we call reality, and how we enter a space filled with prejudices, judgemental positions and cultural stereotypes that obstruct curiosity and questioning, very often providing the space for aggressive and destructive expressions. At the beginning of the war in Croatia in 1991, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, it was very popular to quote the Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." These times in Yugoslavia started to evolve

Introduction Psychosocial help and psychotherapeutic processes, always bearing in mind the therapeutic aim of attaining the level and creating the space for a culture of forgiveness to develop, open up possibilities for reconciliation within oneself and with others. I recommend that these (therapeutic) processes should be accompanied by the parallel task of mourning of losses and unattained wishes. I suggest that forgiveness and reconciliation can only become attainable achievements and constructive aims of psychotherapeutic and psychosocial interventions via a thorough mourning process.

Military medical personnel deployed to war zones are dually burdened with stressors related to providing healthcare and combat and operational experiences. To better understand how different types and levels of stress exposure relate to positive and negative mental health outcomes among military medical personnel, the associations between combat and healthcare stress exposure and posttraumatic growth and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were examined among 253 Air Force medical personnel recently redeployed from Iraq. Both types of stress exposure were uniquely associated with increased PTSD symptomatology. However, combat exposure was linearly associated with PTSD, suggesting a doseresponse relationship, whereas the relationship between healthcare stress and PTSD was curvilinear. Both forms of stress exposure showed an inverted U-shaped relationship with posttraumatic growth.

La violencia es una forma de deshumanización que destruye la alteridad, afectando tanto a las víctimas como a los testigos. Según Freud, la violencia provoca una efracción en el psiquismo, generando clivajes y melancolización, donde la víctima interioriza la culpa del agresor. Klein diferencia entre la melancolía y los síntomas depresivos, observando que la violencia psicotiza ciertas partes del psiquismo. Ferenczi y Freud exploran cómo la renegación y desmentida contribuyen a que la violencia se inscriba de manera traumática. Winnicott señala que esta violencia derrumba la continuidad existencial, afectando la subjetividad. La clínica del trauma subraya que la transmisión intergeneracional de la culpa no tramitada del agresor produce un autorreproche melancólico en la víctima. La violencia no solo genera daño físico, sino que fragmenta la psique, perpetuando un narcisismo de muerte en el paciente. Es crucial que el psicoanalista reconozca y trate este autorreproche para restituir la vitalidad psíquica y reconstruir el lazo social.

Schizotypy as a research framework for schizophrenia emphasizes a link between the symptoms of the disorder and schizotypal traits in the non-clinical population, and argues for a symptom orientated approach to the field. One such symptom area concerns that of unusual experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions that occur in both schizophrenia and in the normal population, but differ in intensity and frequency. Hallucinations and delusions are affected by the environment in which they occur, such as a perceptually ambiguous environment. However, given that both hallucinations and delusions are misinterpretations of the current environment, the content of both could also be influenced by previous experiences, where properties of previous experiences interact with the current environment to produce such experiences. One factor that could influence hallucinations and delusions in this way is time. That is, it could be that those individuals more prone to hallucinations and delusions have stronger temporal links with the properties of previous experiences that facilitate hallucinatory and delusional experiences. The current thesis explores the relationship between the influence of environmental properties on hallucinatory reports and the possibility of differences in timing between individuals scoring high or low in schizotypy through tasks that incorporate temporal elements for optimum performance, such as time based schedules of reinforcement, or measure timing more directly, such as temporal bisection tasks. Findings from the thesis show that high schizotypy scorers make more hallucinatory-like reports than low scorers and that those reports are linked to properties of the environment in which they occur. In addition, there is some evidence that high scorers differ in timing across both schedule and temporal bisection tasks, but only under very specific circumstances.

2025, ANASTASIS. Research in Medieval Culture and Art

The paper is highlighting the unique phenomenon of modern
Ukrainian sacred art – holy icons painted on panels made of ammunition boxes brought from the war zone in Ukraine. The aim of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive study of the project “Holy Icons on Ammunition Boxes” from the point of view of art history and social culture; to understand the prerequisites for the appearance of the art project “Holy Icons on the
Ammunition Boxes” and its functions as social and volunteer project; to carry
out an art analysis of separate holy icons and icon painting cycles of this art
project. Several interviews with the creators of the project – artists Oleksandr Klymenko and Sofia Atlantova – were conducted, based on which the necessary conditions for the creation of holy icons, their symbolism, iconography, and social function (which is manifested in the support of the First Voluntary Mobile Hospital named after Mykola Pirogov) were analysed. The project “Holy Icons on Ammunition Boxes” carries an important function of unification and fusion: stitching together the rear and the frontline. Its
symbolism is based on the antithesis of death and life, the transformation of
death into life, not only on a symbolic level, but also literally since all funds
from the holy icons’ sales are directed to saving the lives of wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. Weapons, which are originally instruments of
death, acquire the opposite symbolic qualities, and become sacred artifacts.
The article analyses both the artistic features of the project and its social
function, which is no less important.

Can narcissism help foster resiliency against adversity? In this study, we used Turkish panel data, to examine whether narcissism can buffer the negative impact of personal loss on change in subjective well-being in the wake of the Türkiye-Syria earthquakes of 2023. Results show that the adaptation to personal loss was stronger for individuals high on narcissism. At the same time, we found no evidence that individuals high on Machiavellianism or psychopathyother Dark Triad traits-were better able to adapt to personal loss.

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of active meditation as an effective self-help tool during a full-scale invasion among women of all ages who are in forced emigration. Emotional disturbances are common in women who were forced to leave the territory of Ukraine during the Russian-Ukrainian war. During the two years of the full-scale invasion, the demand for self-help tools that could alleviate the intensity of stress-re- lated experiences has increased significantly. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to theoret- ically substantiate the beneficial impact of active meditation (using and analyzing self-reports of migrant women) as an effective tool of self-help during emotional disturbances in women who are in forced emigration. The study presents the author’s practical experience of working with cli- ents (taking into account all confidentiality rules) on the implementation of meditative practices to reduce stress levels, which in turn contributed to easier adaptation, improved well-being, and nor- malization of sleep. The method of self-observa- tion analysis was used to retrospectively analyze the impact of meditation practice on the mental state of female respondents. Women kept a diary in a free form of self-report, where there was a low level of formalization. Empirical analysis of practical experience allows us to conclude that active meditation, as a method of self-help, can help a woman cope with anxiety and normalize sleep. At the same time, the author notes that this issue requires further additional research.

Background: The covid-19 pandemic, also known as the corona virus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of corona virus disease 2019(covid-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2(SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The relationship between physical activity and physical fitness, and the relationship between the latter and several cardiovascular risk factors cannot be analyzed without taking into account several confounding factors, particularly adiposity and genetic determinants high intensity physical exercise has any effect on CRC (cardio respiratory capacity) in obese adolescents, and that both moderate and high intensity physical exercise modifies adiposity. [4] Method: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) which sought information on age, gender experience past medical history. This study was conducted on 81 individuals of students between age group 18-to-25-year college students who fulfil the inclusion criteria. Result: Total physical activity levels during and before lockdown with mean of 6141.269during lock down 6141.269 and, before lockdown t value is-5.562 which is statistically significant at 0.0001. Conclusion: The study accepts Alternative hypothesis-there is significant difference between PA level in college students during covid-19 lockdown and before lockdown. During the course of this study, it has been concluded that during lockdown students have less PA level compared to before lockdown.

This study aims to explore the concept of 'home' and its multifaceted nature by examining the works of Mahmoud Darwish and Pablo Neruda, two poets who, despite their isolation, offer unique perspectives on exile. The primary research question seeks to unravel the complex definition of 'home' and its potential associations with land, language, and historical context. By adopting a sociological critical approach, the researcher analyzes the physical and psychological dimensions of exile, questioning the nature of mental exile and its categorization. The study delves into the two poets' social, economic, and political relationships, providing a comprehensive understanding of their respective exiles. The findings suggest that 'home' transcends the physical boundaries of birth or residence, extending to familial connections and personal identity. The choice of Darwish and Neruda as comparative subjects is strategic, given their diverse perspectives on exile and its causes. This research contributes to a broader understanding of the concept of 'home' and its multifaceted nature, highlighting the importance of exploring various exile contexts to draw more comprehensive conclusions. Through such comparative analyses that a deeper comprehension of the complex relationship between individuals and their sense of 'home' can be achieved. Further exploration of exile contexts and their impact on the notion of 'home' is encouraged, as it has the potential to provide valuable insights into human identity, belonging, and the complex dynamics of displacement.
