Abstract
|
|
|
This case study is about functional analyses of traumatic symptoms in two prostituted women suffering with complex posttraumatic stress. Functional analysis offers treatment utility by identifying the controllable, causal, functional relationship among symptoms. In this study, we focused on dissociative experiences which may operate for the occurrence and maintenance of posttraumatic symptoms. In the case of J, dissociative experiences were found between reexperiencing symptoms and impulses of self-harm. Case of K is about dissociative experiences in between identity confusion and repetition of harmful relationships.
Throughout the case studies, it was possible to conceptualize the dissociative experiences by the functional domains such as experiential avoidance, and deficiency in tacting private experiences. Treatment choices, implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
