Traumatic experience has a strong impact on the psychological, biological and social equilibrium, despite the human being’s capacity to survive and adapt. posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex and dynamic syndrome of an organism’s stress reaction to a severe psychotrauma which alters the emotional response, leads to psychobiologic and neurohumoral changes, affects the cognitive and information-processing system, and modifies the mechanisms of adaptation and fight. Treatment of PTSD is a complex and multidimensional process, which integrates a biological, social and psychological approach, with the aim to normalize the response to stress and reduce maladaptive psychobiologic processes. Every model of treatment should include elements of psychoeducation, support, anxiety relief and lifestyle modifications. In this study, a psychotherapeutic program consisting of socio-therapeutic, psycho-educative and dynamic-oriented group approach was implemented. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic programs by evaluating the symptoms of PTSD, neurotic symptoms, depressiveness, ways of coping with stress and indicators of quality of life at the end of the program and a year afterwards. The results showed that treatment programs scheduled for PTSD groups led to changes in coping strategies, a reduction in symptoms of depression slight and increases in PTSD symptoms whereas most other neurotic symptoms and the quality of life remained unchanged during treatment.
