Research area and primary aims
The Trauma, Resilience and Adjustment – Investigation Lab (TRAIL) aims to provide a reference point for observational and intervention research on the process of adjustment to psychological trauma (individual and collective) in different life stages. The aim of the collaborators, coming from different disciplinary areas, is to provide a better understanding of the complexity of post-trauma recovery, characterized by the co-occurring of mental and physical health challenges. The process of adjustment will be investigated through a developmental, contextual, and neuroscientific approach (using both human and animal models). The focus will be placed not only on bio-psycho-social and contextual factors but also on mechanisms intervening prior or following trauma exposure. Network analysis will be used to enhance the understanding of post traumatic symptoms models. The effectiveness of innovative treatments (including TMS, “third wave” CBT and non-trauma focused therapies), and treatment components will be explored.
