| Summary: | The article investigates the methods of treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders in war and military conflicts. In modern psychiatry and clinical psychology, an externally conditioned mental disorder has been introduced - a kind of scientific acceptance that has not previously been used in the classification systems of mental disorders. Particular attention is paid to the new diagnostic manual ICD-11-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 11 Revision, Clinical Modification), which comes into force on 01.01.2022, which brings great innovations, especially in the diagnosis of injuries. It will also affect possible medical procedures and therapeutic interventions. Therefore, in the next few years there will be a major change in the paradigm of treatment. It is noted that an expert survey of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Research on Best Practices in the Treatment of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress, which interviewed 50 international experts, showed that consistent treatment is preferred, with a focus on coping skills (including emotional interventions) and memory trauma (using various therapeutic techniques). Despite the existence of a very small number of randomized therapeutic trials, a basic consensus on the most important therapeutic goals has been documented. |
