In this article, the author critically reviews studies on the relationship between exposure to trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alcohol abuse. After establishing that strong relationships exist between exposure to traumatic events and alcohol problems, and particularly between the diagnoses of PTSD and alcoholism, the author discusses various factors, theories, and possible mechanisms to account for these associations. Moreover, she discusses applications of these findings to the assessment and treatment of people exposed to trauma who abuse alcohol. Finally, the author outlines novel methods for testing theoretical hypotheses and makes suggestions for methodological improvements in future research.
在本文中,作者批判性地回顾了关于创伤暴露、创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)与酒精滥用之间关系的研究。在确定创伤性事件暴露与酒精问题之间存在紧密联系,尤其是PTSD诊断与酒精中毒之间存在紧密联系之后,作者讨论了各种因素、理论以及解释这些关联的可能机制。此外,她还讨论了这些研究结果在对创伤暴露且酗酒人群的评估和治疗中的应用。最后,作者概述了检验理论假设的新方法,并对未来研究的方法改进提出了建议。
