Treating PTSD: Lessons from veterans for workplace bullying targets
Thursday, September 27th, 2012
Wanted to alert WBI followers to a marvelous review of the newest approaches to treating PTSD written by Pulitzer Prize winning author Tina Rosenberg. The New York Times article is called For Veterans, a Surge of New Treatments for Trauma. Key points include:

PTSD: A tale of two countries
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012
PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) is a severe consequence for about a third of individuals bullied at work. That is, their coping responses to stress are overwhelmed just as is done to people in war zones or those subjected to personalized assaults akin to rape. For those who suffer PTSD’s symptoms (intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance (including anger), and avoidance of triggering places and situations), the causal connection between bullying and PTSD is clear. Many mental health professionals agree. Heinz Leymann, founder of the international movement, published research documenting the link in the late 1980′s.
Two current stories illustrate the vast gulf between American and Canadian approaches to this mental health dilemma.

Bullies at Work: Bushwhackers by Design
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
People targeted by bullies for humiliation and degrading treatment always get a head start because their initial attacks surprise targets. You may ask, always surprise? Yes, they get bushwhacked.
It’s explained by the stark contrast in worldviews and developed personalities of the two, bully and target.

New research suggests that you’re not alone, especially if you’re struggling to cope.

PTSD Diagnosis “Changes” for American Vets
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Military vets are exposed to trauma. No secret there. However, the rates of American vets suffering PTSD is skyrocketing because of repeated 1-yr. tours in war zones. Effective July 12, 2010, the VA has a new regulation (subject to termination after the Obama administration leaves office). Described as “relaxed rules,” the vet’s symptoms (irritability, flashbacks, deep depression, and other emotional or behavior problems) will be used by the military clinicians to diagnosis PTSD. The change drops the requirement that events that caused the symptoms be documented.
