            Abstract

            This study aims at re-conceptualizing PTSD as a neuropsychological construct and reconsidering the understanding of both the perpetrator and victim of the trauma from a neuropsychological perspective. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is considered a modern mental disorder secondary to an individual's experience of emotional trauma. Further such trauma should disappear or be adjusted to as a function of the passage of time and as a function of psychotherapeutic interventions. The findings of this study reveal that PTSD produces changes that are neurocognitive in nature. Furthermore, significant neuropsychological deficits arise as a function of PTSD or at least some forms of PTSD via acute or chronic traumatic exposure.

            تهدف هذه الورقة الى إعادة صياغة تصنيف مفهوم اضطراب ما بعد الصدمة النفسية كاضطراب شي عصبي، كما تحاول فهم وتفسير سلوك كل ض الجاني والضحية من منظور نفسي عصبي. ويعتبر اضطراب توتر ما بعد الصدمة (PTSD) اضطرائا نفسيا حديى، حيث تظهر أعراضه بعد تعرضى الفرد لصدمة نفسية. ويمكن أن تختفي مثل هذه الصدمات أو يتم التأقلم معها بمرور الوقت أو بمساعدة العلاجات النفسية. انئاوت نتائج هذه الدراسة الى أن اضطراب ما بعد الصدمة يؤدي إلى تغيرات عصبية معرفية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تظهر مشاكل شية عصبية واضحة كنتيجة لاضطراب ما بعد الصدمة أو على الأقل لبعمن أنواعه كاضطراب توتر ما بعد الصدمة المزض.
