Article Synopsis
- Trauma-related dissociation can disrupt a person's self-awareness and emotional understanding, and it notably affects women more than men, yet it's often overlooked in clinical settings.* -
- The study explored how different dissociative experiences connect to brain networks using the Triple Network Model, focusing on conditions like depersonalization and dissociative identity disorder (DID) among women with varying trauma histories.* -
- Findings suggest that specific brain connectivity patterns are linked to dissociation subtypes, highlighting the importance of assessing dissociation in treatment to improve care and reduce health disparities, especially among women.*
First responders are regularly confronted with exposure to traumatic events, including potentially life-threatening situations as well as the grave injuries and deaths of colleagues and civilians. Evidence indicates that the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is substantially higher among first responders than the general population. This article provides information about the outpatient trauma services at McLean Hospital's LEADER (Law Enforcement, Active Duty, Emergency Responder) program to assist clinicians who encounter these first responders in their practices or who are specifically interested in working with this patient population.

Effective physician-patient communication improves glycemia and diabetes self-care; however, communication gaps may exist that prevent patients from discussing self-care problems with treatment providers.
Research Design And Methods: We assessed diabetic patients' (n = 316, 85% white, 51% female, 71% type 2 diabetes, 59 ± 11 years old, 16 ± 3 years education, 19 ± 13 years diabetes duration, and HbA(1c) = 7.
