We would like to inform you about a few grammar and sentence structure corrections on the submitted abstracts that we conducted for a better understanding of the content. We are sorry for any remaining misprints and any inconvenience caused. Welcome to this special edition of the European Journal of Psychotraumatology! The 12th European Conference on Traumatic Stress in Vienna offers some innovations. One of these is the publication of your abstracts in a supplement to the European Journal of Psychotraumatology, the official journal of the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Thanks to the efforts of the ESTSS we are able to offer you not only a printed edition of the supplement, which will be handed out at the conference, but also an identical electronic version free for anybody to access online, giving your abstract the widest possible dissemination to an international audience beyond the conference. This supplement of the European Journal of Psychotraumatology presents contributions from plenary lectures, key note lectures, symposia, oral presentations, workshops, posters, con- troversy debates and panel discussions. All published abstracts have been accepted by the international scientific committee after having been reviewed. You will find two main sections, one in English and one in German. The German Speaking Society for Psychotraumatology kindly helped with the translations. Within the sub-sections of these two main sections, the abstracts are listed in alphabetical order according to the family name of the first author and an indication of the format of the presentation. We wish you an inspiring conference and an enjoyable stay in Vienna.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS AND INVITED PLENARY LECTURES Á CONTENTS Peter Bumke, Germany Social anthropologist, member of Trauma Aid-HAP Germany, EMDR Europe Trauma Centered Psychotherapy and EMDR in a Humanitarian Mass Disaster: Evaluating the Aceh Experience In a project carried out by Trauma Aid-HAP Germany between 2007 and 2009 and sponsored by Terre des Hommes and the German Official Development Assistance more than 3200 adult and child clients were treated for mental disorders related to traumatic experiences after the Tsunami in 2004 and the civil war in Aceh/ Indonesia. An accompanying monitoring and research component provided detailed diagnostic data before and after therapy. This guided both the therapeutic process, and the training process in psychotraumatology. Also with this component the long term effectiveness of the interventions was assessed. In turn these findings were related to various traumatic events, socio-economic conditions and other non-psychological factors that influenced therapy outcome. Particular attention was paid to a variety of cultural implications entailed in using therapies such as EMDR in a non-Western, deeply religious and traditional context. Main results, implications for further research and future intervention strategies will be addressed. Harald Ju¨rgen Freyberger, Germany Prof. Dr. med., Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Greifswald 60 Years Later: Posttraumatic Stress Disorders, Salutogenetic Factors, Medical Expert Opinions in Holocaust Survivors in the Longitudinal Section Course Starting from 600 medical experts opinions with regard to applicants to German compensation boards each individual share of the posttraumatic stress disorders and the different salutogenetic elements are identified. In more than half of the patients posttraumatic stress disorder did not occur progressively. Their most frequent posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms were sleep disturbances, recurrent nightmares, intrusive recollections as well as depressive and anxiety disorders. The salutogenetic factors concerned the state of Israel, the distinguished communications within the marriage of two survivors, the birth of children and the systematic dealing with well describing holocaust topics. Joop de Jong, Netherlands MD, PhD, is Professor of Cultural and International Psychiatry at the VU University in Amsterdam, Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University, and Visiting Professor at Rhodes University, S Africa Public Mental Health: State of the Art of Dealing with Massive Stress Trauma societies around the world are gradually shifting towards a public health paradigm. Despite high hopes of developments in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, we realize that we need to pay more attention to contextual variables in managing mass traumatic stress, wherever it occurs in the world. Low- and middle-income countries are disproportionally affected by disasters and armed conflicts with increased migration flows, poverty, a large burden of psychosocial and mental health problems, human rights violations, and very few mental health professionals. The resulting treatment gap in the aftermath of massive humanitarian emergencies obliges us to develop contextually relevant and culturally appropriate preventive and curative interventions, which is the main theme of this lecture. 2 Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology Supplement 1, 2011.
