Immediate Psychotraumatic Reactions: Anxiety or Fear? - 2005.
88
Among a sample of one hundred and twenty three male and female individuals, who were victims of a road traffic accident, we examine the different approaches to peritraumatic distress prospectively, by linking the influence of these immediate and post-immediate emotional reactions to the development of traumatic re-experiencing, or even Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), after 2 months. In our study, 48 of the victims reported experiencing an immediate fright reaction, when faced with the real possibility of death, in particular their own death. Out of these 48 victims, only one did not correspond to the criteria for PTSD after 2 months. An initial feeling of fright seems to us to be an essential qualitative factor in the clinical description of psychological trauma.
