PSYCHOLOGICAL CHALLENGES

PSYCHOLOGICAL CHALLENGES

•Natural resilience must be cultivated – there is widespread resilience if the family and wider social fabric can be kept intact

•How do we foster resilience on the individual, family and community level?

•For this to happen community mobilization and supportive social environments are needed

•Most large-scale disasters demand international cooperation

•Mental health issues are no exception to this

•In resource poor countries problems of everyday living may take priority over mental health issues

•Organisational fragmentation, problems in command, cooperation and communication are common – hence IASC guidelines

FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

§Family consequences can be dramatic as events impact family cohesion, structure, communication and role distribution

§Family interaction patterns change in various ways

i.e. parental over protection or parental withdrawal

§Concepts that grasp family dynamics are lacking .

GRIEF, TRAUMA AND ATTACHMENT

GRIEF, TRAUMA AND ATTACHMENT

§1. The attachment system regulates the interplay between the child’s exploration and their need for safety and protection – a biologically based system with regulation mechanisms both on the child and adult side

§

2. This fine-tuned system is totally dependent on the presence of the mother (father). A lack of emotional or physical presence can lead to different forms of ambivalent, insecure or disorganised attachment

§

3. Recent research show that parents that struggle following loss and trauma often have an insecure or anxious attachment

§

4. There is a danger that small children get their attachment disturbed and that parental capacity is reduced .

§5. It is through the fine-tuned interplay between the caregiver and the child that the foundation for future trust, self-worth, identity and ability to regulate feelings are developed

§6. Especially the ability to regulate emotions is important. When the mother (father) soothes or calms down or consoles with her voice, her words and explanations ”it is not dangerous”, as well as her body, the executive systems in the cortex are developed. Gradually the child him/herself can reduce the alarm bells and the action systems (fight, flight, freeze, surrender) in the deeper structures of the brain

§7.With reduced parental capacity this development is under stimulated or deviated

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DISASTERS

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DISASTERS

§Wide variety of reactions can be expected in the immediate aftermath

§Among directly exposed prevalence of PTSD is 30-40 %, in general population 10 to 20 %, and among rescue workers 10-20 % (Galea, Nandi & Vlalov, 2005)
