- 소개/요약Buddhist psychology recognizes suffering as a universal human experience, and modern clinical psychology research tends to agree that the majority of people worldwide are likely to encounter one or more traumatic events and/or relationships within their lifetime. Prevalence rates for trauma exposure approximate 67 % internationally (Karam et al. 2014; McLaughlin et al. 2014; Norris and Sloan 2014; Stein et al. 2014), and epidemiological studies suggest that rates in North America may be even higher (e.g., Canada, 76 %; Van Ameringen et al. 2008; United States, 90 %; Kilpatrick et al. 2013). Common traumatic stressors include motor vehicle accidents, childhood maltreatment, intimate partner violence, being physically or sexually assaulted, witnessing death or serious injury, or experiencing the unexpected death of a loved one. Notwithstanding the pervasiveness of psychological trauma in human life, some persons clearly suffer more greatly than others, with many ultimately developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related comorbid disorders, including anxiety disorders, depression, and dissociative disorders. Current evidence-based psychological treatments for trauma and stressor-related disorders are primarily cognitive behavioral in nature; however, even gold-standard treatments for PTSD often fall short, with reviews suggesting that approximately one in every two-to-three people with PTSD who receive evidence-based treatments will fail to show clinically significant improvement (e.g., Bradley et al. 2005). Moreover, drop-out rates for PTSD treatment are woefully high, approximating one in every four-to-five participants (and can be even higher, e.g., 38 % in Schnurr et al. 2007; reviews by Hembree et al. 2003; Schottenbauer et al. 2008). Researchers are therefore also evaluating non-traditional treatment modalities for trauma and stressor-related disorders including mindfulness-based interventions and internet-based treatment.
