The Impact

Childbirth has been identified as a possible traumatic experience, leading to traumatic stress responses and even to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) in a group of women who recently gave birth (N = 435). In addition, a comparison was made between the original IES and the IES-R. The scale showed high internal consistency (α = 0.88). Using confirmatory factor analysis no support was found for a three-factor structure of an intrusion, an avoidance, and a hyperarousal factor. Goodness of fit was only reasonable, even after fitting one intrusion item on the hyperarousal scale. The IES-R correlated significantly with scores on depression and anxiety self-rating scales, as well as with scores on a self-rating scale of posttraumatic stress disorder. Although the IES-R can be used for studying posttraumatic stress reactions in women who recently gave birth, the original IES proved to be a better instrument compared to the IES-R. It is concluded that adding the hyperarousal scale to the IES-R did not make the scale stronger.

ResumenEl sistema chileno de ejecución de penas contempla penas sustitutivas destinadas a benefciar a quienes se encuentren privados de libertad, a efectos de contribuir a su reinserción social. La ley 20.603 vino a reformar el régimen general con el objetivo de disminuir el nivel de hacinamiento, en particular después de la traumática experiencia sufrida en el incendio de la Cárcel de San Miguel en diciembre de 2010. El artículo reconstruye el debate legislativo a efectos de comprender las diferentes posturas manifestadas en él, al mismo tiempo que se presentan y explican las fuentes comparadas que inspiraron la reforma. La evaluación de la misma por la opinión pública y ciudadana emerge como una preocupación latente que pondrá a prueba la efcacia del sistema.Palabras clave: funciones de la pena, medidas alternativas, reinserción social, sistema penitenciario.ResumoO sistema chileno de execução de penas contempla medidas alternativas destinadas a benefciar aqueles que se encontram privados de sua liberdade, a fm de contribuir na sua reinserção social.

The current debate on the vices of multiculturalism and the merits of integration, of problematizing cultural difference, appears to miss important lessons from recent history in the treatment of minorities. In this paper, I start by questioning the celebration of Barack Obama’s election as a “breakthrough” for multicultural inclusiveness. I argue that the “Obama phenomenon” highlights the limits of democratic inclusiveness and sheds light on the traumatic experience of African Americans, who have been victimized precisely for seeking to assimilate. European Jews, especially in Germany, could not be accused of any reluctance to integrate either, and their contributions to European culture are legendary. But they also suffered grievously for their pains. Thus when the same xenophobic political trends traditionally hostile to the integration of minorities begin to vociferously demand that Muslims should integrate, this must be seen as a warning that we may be heading toward a very dark phase of race relations in the West.

private letters of the early 1920s from the personal correspondence of the interpreter K. A. Morozova are published. The content of the messages is connected with the family tragedy (the death of Morozova's brother, officer A. A. Borislavsky during the" disinfection "of the Crimea from the "white guards" at the end of 1920) shared by Morozova with the author of the letters, her brother's wife. How the letter’s writer, who lived in Feodosia during the red terror, describes her traumatic experience, is considered. It is recorded how she comprehends what happened and how she tries to "arrange" a new life in Soviet Russia.
