Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the research trends in the treatment of hatha-style yoga on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Methods: We searched articles in Pubmed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) January 2010-December 2019, for studies to treat PTSD using hatha-style yoga. Selected studies were evaluated by the CLEAR-NPT (A Checklist to Evaluate a Report of a Non-pharmacological Trial). Results: Seven randomized controlled clinical trials were selected. PSS-I (PTSD Symptom Scale-Interview) was the most frequently used as diagnostic criteria. The PCL (PTSD Checklist) was also the most commonly used outcome measurement. Of the seven articles, most studies reported that hatha-style yoga was effective to reduce symptoms of PTSD. Conclusions: Hatha-style yoga practice intervention can be used to relieve symptoms of PTSD. More studies should be conducted to make hatha-style yoga as protocol (complementary therapy) for PTSD patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the Korean-medical and the Western-medical psychotherapy on PTSD for improving the Korean-medical psychotherapy on this issue. Methods: We surveyed recent articles relating to psychotherapy on the incidence of PTSD. Results: Under the circumstances of this study, we note that applying the qigong therapeutics would be helpful when conducting relaxation training on the identified PTSD patients. We understand that taking a systematic desensitization style in the use of the kyungja-pyungji treatment is recommended. It would also be more effective to combine other treatments such as the use of the I-Jeong-Byeon-Gi Therapy and the five minds mutual restriction therapy. We have shown that by using the five minds mutual restriction therapy for the imagery rescripting has a better a synergy effect for optimum patient outcomes for patients who have been diagnosed with PTSD. Conclusions: Our study has shown that by improving the shortcomings of the Korean psychotherapy and utilizing Western psychotherapy's merits, we expect to increase the efficacy of the Korean psychotherapy with these recommendations for changes in this case.

Objectives : This study examined the impact of peer's suicide on mental health of middle-school students. The aim of this study was to describe the course of posttraumatic stress and grief reaction, suicide ideation, and depression score among adolescents after exposure to peer's suicide and to examine the relationship between posttraumatic stress and other mental health scores in these subjects. Methods : Thirty seven middle school students who were exposed to the suicidal death of a peer completed self-report measures to assess levels of depression, grief reaction, post-traumatic stress, and suicide ideation at 1 month and 8 months after the peer's suicide. Results : There was no significant change in mental health scores between 1 month and 8 months. Level of posttraumatic stress after 8 months was related to acute grief response. Subjects who experienced a clinically significant level of suicidal ideation and posttraumatic stress showed more mental health problems. Conclusion : The results suggested that peer's suicide strongly impacted mental health issues of adolescents at a critical time of adolescent development. Clinicians should perform a thorough evaluation of mental health problems for youth who experienced peer's suicide and help them in management of their grief reaction.

We evaluated the problems of the current disaster psychological recovery support system of the Ministry of Interior and Safety for periodic infectious disease disasters, including COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). The current disaster psychological recovery support systems are challenging to preemptively respond to infectious disease disasters over a wide range and for a long period. These result from the workforce shortage according to the face-to-face consultation method and the limited real-time application of consultation contents. Additionally, due to the workforce shortage, it is difficult to track those who have experienced disasters in the long term. Furthermore, most disaster psychology evaluation tools are for adults, and there are few evaluation tools for children and adolescents. This paper presents an advanced disaster psychological recovery support platform technology that can actively assist people in psychological recovery from disasters while mitigating these issues.

Heracles has been adored as one of the bravest mythical heroes all times and all places because it was thought that he protected his people and lands from invasion, plunder, or enslavement. However, I argue Heracles should be criticized as a war machine of violence and murder. War is homicide itself, which means humans kill humans, unlike other violent and sensual animals such as dogs, apes or pigs. It is ironically ambivalent to celebrate an excellent hero in homicide in this age of nuclear weapons. This irony leads to S. Freud's 'Death instinct' or Malcolm Potts's 'war genes'. Unlike Freud, Malcolm Potts insists that humans' war genes can be changed into peace genes because they were just remains of Stone Age. According to Apollodoros' myth or Euripides' tragedies, he was mad enough to kill his own sons and wife after he had murdered the king Lycos in Thebes. Though Rene Girard says that his madness was derived from contagion of violence and blood, I think that his madness came from horrible experiences of cruel wars as well as Hera's maltreatment in his childhood. It will be demonstrated to be war neurosis, that is, PTSD(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder). In a different way from the modern media in which Heracles is being glorified as a purest macho and war machine, his old myths show the ambivalence of his violence and murder, and his daily misfortunes owing to his madness. In this sense, his myth is a kind of warning to the humans not to kill each other, or to stop wars.

Objective : In posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is essential to evaluate the severity of trauma with a reliable instrument. The combat exposure scale (CES) is one of the most widely used measures for the combat-related trauma. The present study was conducted to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of CES (CES-K). Methods : One hundred and forty-five male Korean veterans of the Vietnam War participated in this study. CES-K, the structured clinical interview for DSM-III-R (SCID), clinician administered PTSD scale (CAPS), and the Korean version life events checklist (LEC-K) were administered. Results : Cronbach's coefficient of CES-K was .85, and the test-retest reliability was .94. The mean [standard deviation (SD)] scores of CES-K were 20.4 (9.0) in the PTSD group and 12.0 (8.6) in the non-PTSD group (p<.001). CES-K showed a significant correlation with LEC-K (r=.31, p<.001) and CAPS (r=.52, p<.001). Only one factor was revealed by the factor analysis. Conclusion : CES-K showed good reliability and validity for assessing the severity of combat exposure. Further, it demonstrated comparable psychometric properties to the previous study. It is expected that CES-K will be a useful tool for evaluating the severity of combat exposure in Korea.

목 적 : 가정폭력에 노출된 여성은 우울증, 불안장애, 외상 후 스트레스 장애 등 다양한 정신 질환에 이환되기 쉽다. 심박변이도 검사는 자율신경계의 활성도와 균형을 평가하는 검사로 비침습적이고 재현성이 높아 정신 질환에 대한 연구에서도 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 폭력 피해 여성에 대한 심박변이도 연구는 아직까지 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 폭력 피해 여성의 인구사회학적 특징 및 심리학적 특징을 살펴보고, 한국인과 외국인 폭력 피해 여성의 임상적 특징과 심박변이도 검사 결과의 차이를 비교해보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 여성쉼터에 입소한 폭력피해 여성 중 2011년 12월 부터 2015년 12월까지 건강검진을 위해 서울의료원에 방문한 대상자 중 한국인 166명, 외국인 44명, 총 210명 대상으로 HAM-D, HAM-A, IES-R 등 임상 척도 평가와 심박변이도 검사를 실시하였다. 폭력 피해 여성 중 한국인과 외국인의 인구사회학적 특징, 심리적 특징, 심박변이도를 비교하기 위하여 카이제곱 검정 및독립 표본 t-검정 등을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 한국인과 외국인 폭력 피해 여성은 거주지, 유년시절폭력의 경험, 폭력의 지속기간에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 한국인과 외국인 폭력 피해 여성 두 군 간의 HAM-A, HAM-D, IES-R 점수에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 심박변이도의 세부지표에서는 ApEn 수치가 외국인 폭력 피해 여성군이 한국인보다 유의하게 높았고, RMSSD 수치는 외국인 폭력 피해 여성 군이 한국인보다 유의하게 낮은 결과를 보였다. 기타 HRV 세부지표에서는 한국인 폭력 피해 여성 군과 외국인 폭력피해 여성 군 두 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 국내 폭력 피해 여성은 우울, 불안, 외상 후 스트레스장애 증상을 가지고 있는 비율이 높았고 한국인과 외국인 간의 차이는 유의하지 않았다. 그러나 심박변이도 검사에서 외국인의 ApEn 값이 유의하게 높고 RMSSD 값이 유의하게 낮았다. 이는 한국인과 외국인의 인종 생리적 또는 이민 생활 등 환경적 영향의 차이일 수 있으며 향후 충분한 수의 외국인 대상자와 한국인을 비교, 추적조사를 통하여 요인간의 인과관계를 파악하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
