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 factors and mechanisms intervening prior or following trauma exposure, but also on contexts in which individuals are placed at the time of the event. Network analysis will be used to enhance the understanding of post traumatic symptoms models. The effectiveness of innovative treatments (including “third wave” CBT and non-trauma focused therapies), transdiagnostic interventions and treatment components will be explored.
