Dissociative responses in the immediate aftermath of the Oakland/Berkeley firestorm
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½
Dissociative responses in the immediate aftermath of the Oakland/Berkeley firestorm 1993 Meeting of the International-Society-for-Traumatic-Stress-Studies Koopman, C., Classen, C., Spiegel, D. PLENUM PUBL CORP. 1996: 521–40Abstract
This study examined relationships between dissociative symptoms experienced in the immediate aftermath of the Oakland/Berkeley firestorm and contact with the fire, life events, demographic variables, and actions taken after learning about the fire. One hundred eighty-seven participants completed self-report measures about their experiences during and immediately following the fire. Dissociative symptoms were significantly related to contact with the fire, sex, and stressful life events. Also, dissociative symptoms were significantly related to engaging in certain activities, such as trying to get closer to the fire and going into blocked-off areas and crossing police barricades. These results suggest that dissociative symptoms may merit special attention in intervention focusing on the immediate aftermath of disaster.
