Traumatic events and early maladaptive schemas (EMS): Prison guard psychological vulnerability
Conclusions It appeared that inmate-on-staff attacks cause re-enactment of “mistrust” EMS in particular. We hypothesize a particular relationship between EMS and PTSD: after a traumatic event, EMS may be re-enacted. Once EMS are re-enacted, they act as a risk factor for post-traumatic stress symptoms. In return, post-traumatic symptoms may maintain EMS enactment. Further studies are necessary; nevertheless, we now know the importance of psychological help for prison guards.
