TRAUMA, STRESS, COPING MECHANISMS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY SPECIFIC TO MENTAL TRAUMA
Abstract
The objective of the study is to identify the differences between the use of social copingmethods used by adults, determined by the presence of verbal abuse until the age ofeighteen, and the presence of an alcoholic parent during childhood and adolescence.The instruments used in the research were: The SACS Strategic Coping Scale, constructedby Stevan E. Hobfoll, Carla L. Dunahoo, Jeannine Monnier, Michael R. Hulsizer, andRobert Johnson in 1993 and revised in 1998, and the ACE (Adverse ChildhoodExperiences) .The results obtained from the statistical analysis of the data confirmed the fact that copingmechanisms such as the search for social support and social relationships differ accordingto childhood verbal abuse, but also that the use of assertive action as a coping mechanismdiffers according to the presence of an alcoholic parent in childhood .We hope that the work will be useful to students and psychologists, but also to bringclarity to those who want to deepen the theme of interdependence between stress andtrauma, and are looking for an answer for the misunderstood experiences of the adultpresent.
