Trauma, Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung und Substanzabhängigkeit: Eine Literaturübersicht

Zusammenfassung

In repräsentativen Bevölkerungserhebungen und in klinischen Untersuchungen konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen einer Alkohol- und Drogenabhängigkeit und dem Vorliegen eines traumatischen Ereignisses in der Vergangenheit der Patienten bzw. einer aktuellen Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung sehr häufig belegt werden. Die folgende Literaturübersicht gibt einerseits einen Einblick in den Forschungsstand mit einem Fokus auf Gewalterfahrungen in Kindheit und Jugend und diskutiert andererseits mögliche kausale Zusammenhänge zwischen traumatischen Ereignissen und der Entwicklung einer Substanzabhängigkeit.
