Breast cancer (BC) is potentially a traumatic stressor which may be associated with negative outcomes, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or positive changes, such as post-traumatic growth (PTG). This study aims to identify the core issues of BC related PTSD, PTG and psychological distress by interrogating the literature in BC survivors. We have also highlighted issues related to the assessment, diagnosis and clinical management of PTSD and PTG. The authors systematically reviewed studies published from 1985 to 2014 pertaining to PTSD, psychological distress and PTG in BC survivors with particular attention paid to incidence rates and causative factors. Multiple studies intimated that women with BC have evidence of PTSD at the initial stages of diagnosis, whereas PTG develops once patients undergo treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment of PTSD/PTG is paramount from literature review but the previously mentioned relationship between PTSD and PTG in BC patients could not be verified. It is evident from the literature that a small percentage of BC patients experience PTSD, while the majority experience PTG after BC diagnosis and treatment. Future research should include prospective studies focusing on high-risk patients, causative factors and the development of psychological interventions.

War field differs from conventional military education and training environments. Warfighter may confront frequently unexpected physical and psychological stimulation. Cumulative psychological stress and physical fatigue can be causes of mood distortion, declined alertness, and decreased combat capability in warfighters. Countermeasures of combat stress and fatigue is very important for keeping combat capability and saving of life. Here in, the countermeasures of combat stress and fatigue have reviewed, and limitation and the direction of research and development of countermeasures of combat stress and fatigue are proposed.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine the association between the children's psychopathology and age, intellectual quotient, and parental psychopathology in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: The emotional and behavioral problems of 35 children with PTSD (23 boys, 12 girls, mean age, $10.26{\pm}2.47$ years) were investigated by retrospective chart review. Their parents' anxiety and depression symptoms were also investigated. We examined the correlations between children's psychopathology and their parents' anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as their age and IQ. Results: There were positive correlations between maternal trait anxiety and depression, and children's emotional problems. State and trait anxiety of children with PTSD were positively correlated with age, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms were negatively correlated with age. Conclusion: Our results suggest that psychiatric manifestation of children who experienced trauma could differ according to the development stage, and the treatment of children with PTSD should involve parental education about the effect of maternal emotional states on children.

Purpose : Anxiety disorder and depressive disorder are often comorbid with each other, and the comorbidity is associated with poorer psychiatric outcome, resistance to treatment, increased risk for suicide, greater chance for recurrence. We aimed to investigate the comorbidity of anxiety disorder in Korea. Method : Subjects were total of 867 depressed patients recruited CRESCEND-K multicenter trial. We used SCID (Structured Clinical Interview for DSM - IV) to find comorbidity of anxiety disorders in depressed patient. Results : Of 867 patients, total 8.2% had anxiety disorder. Proportion of anxiety disorder Not Otherwise Specified was 3.5%, panic disorder was 1.7%, generalized anxiety disorder was 1.1%, post traumatic stress disorder was 0.9%, obsessive compulsive disorder was 0.6%, social phobia was 0.4%. Conclusion : In this study, anxiety disorder in depression were measured at a low comorbidity rate in compare to previous studies. Selection bias, use of antidepressants at registration, severity of depression symptoms, and point of SICD administration seems to have affected these results. It is probable that comorbidity evaluation would be more precise if shorter, structured interviews such as M. I.N.I.-Plus were used during first clinical interview for depression diagnosis.

This study of a music therapy program for the 18 subjects residing in Jeollanam-do province was conducted two times per week during 4 months totalling 17 times in order to evaluate the reduction of the characteristics of patients suffering from stress disorder patients such as depression, and anxiety, Though the experiment for non-symmetric level the concentration and appearance of Alpha wave were determine to be stable but the findings from non-symmetric level according to the left-right brain activity were not significant for T-test, though its effective intermission of music therapy due to variation of the mean values was demonstrated, and the variation of the Alpha wave appearance rate was also significant for the statistics of the T-test for the effectiveness of the music therapy. And for the reduction of depression, emotion, and state-trait anxiety between groups divided into the control group and the experiment, pre-measurement and post-measurement comparisons through psychological tess, validated the effectiveness of music therapy for Posttraumatic stress disorder patients. First of all, this study was conducted in the situation of scarce study cases and program developments for the efficacy of music therapy for the patients suffering from Posttraumatic stress disorders without precedent studies of scientific identification through brain wave measurement. Because this study is insightful in the context of validating the efficacy of musical treatment, we expect that these kinds of studises will be continued.

외상을 경험하는 대상자가 극심한 스트레스를 경험할 때 적절히 대처하지 않으면 외상 후 스트레스 장애(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD) 등을 포함해 다양한 정신과적 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 또한, 전쟁이 아니더라도 군 복무 중 목숨을 위협하는 사건을 경험한 군인들은 심각하고 만성화된 PTSD 증상을 경험할 수 있음을 고려하면 이에 대한 개입을 위해 장병들이 어떠한 외상사건에 노출되어 있는지, 이로 인한 PTSD 증상을 어느 정도 경험하는지에 대한 연구가 필요하지만, 아직 국내연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 연구의 동향을 파악하고 이를 통해 군 장병의 PTSD와 심리적 지원을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 방안을 제공하며 더 나아가 군인뿐만 아니라 전투를 경험한 '민간인'의 PTSD에 대해서도 연구하고 일반외상과 전쟁 외상의 PTSD 차이에 따라 증상 치료 및 완화 프로그램을 민간인들에게 제공한다면 대군 신뢰 상승뿐만 아니라 군이 전쟁 외상 PTSD 연구와 예방, 치료 및 완화 분야에서 주도적 역할을 할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

정보통신기술 발달의 어두운 측면 중 하나는 사이버범죄의 급격한 증가이다. 특히 사이버성폭력 수사를 전담하는 수사관들은 업무 특성상 불법 성폭력 영상 자료에 장시간 노출될 수밖에 없어 외상후스트레스장애 발생 위험이 높을 뿐만 아니라 대리외상을 경험할 가능성도 높다. 그러나 관련 연구는 매우 부족한데다 이들의 대리외상을 다룬 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 사이버성범죄를 다루는 수사관의 정신건강 특히 외상 관련 상태를 확인하고, 현재 운영 중인 심리지원제도에 관한 수사관들의 인식 현황을 파악하고자 한다. 또 유사한 업무를 수행하는 해외 기관의 심리지원제도를 검토함으로써 국내 사이버성폭력수사관의 업무스트레스 관리 및 정신질환 예방을 위해 필요한 심리적 지원과 국내 실정에 맞는 정책에 관해 제안하고자 한다.

Objectives: It is well-known that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among firefighters contributes to their job-related stress. However, the relationship between burnout and PTSD in firefighters has rarely been studied. This study therefore explored the association between burnout and its related factors, such as trauma and violence, and PTSD symptoms among firefighters in Korea. Methods: A total of 535 firefighters participated in the Firefighter Research on Enhancement of Safety & Health study at 3 university hospitals from 2016 to 2017. The 535 participants received a baseline health examination, including questionnaires assessing their mental health. A Web-based survey was also conducted to collect data on job-related stress, history of exposure to violence, burnout, and trauma experience. The associations among burnout, its related factors, and PTSD symptoms were investigated using structural equation modeling. Results: Job demands (${\beta}=0.411$, p<0.001) and effort-reward balance (${\beta}=-0.290$, p<0.001) were significantly related to burnout. Burnout (${\beta}=0.237$, p<0.001) and violence (${\beta}=0.123$, p=0.014) were significantly related to PTSD risk. Trauma (${\beta}=0.131$, p=0.001) was significantly related to burnout; however, trauma was not directly associated with PTSD scores (${\beta}=0.085$, p=0.081). Conclusions: Our results show that burnout and psychological, sexual, and physical violence at the hands of clients directly affected participants' PTSD symptoms. Burnout mediated the relationship between trauma experience and PTSD.
