Trauma can be experienced by and impact any individual across any one or combination of their bio-psycho-social-sexual-spiritual-existential and cultural or holistic realms of existence.
“we have proposed in our own research on conceptualizing trauma that it can be experienced by and impact any individual across any one or combination of their bio-psycho-social-sexual-spiritual-existential and cultural or holistic realms of existence.”
From Person‐Centered Case Formulation: A Culturally Responsive and Trauma Informed Reconceptualization for Psychotraumatology Practice (2026) · cites this paper as O'Brien and Charura 2023
The ‘Suitability of definition of embodied trauma’ section proposes bio-psycho-social-sexual-spiritual-existential manifestations, and the Abstract includes cultural reactions in its definition of embodied trauma. The paper presents these manifestations through a study of displaced participants; the passages do not explicitly extend the full formulation to any individual or describe ‘any one or combination’ of the realms. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe client's consent was given as part of a doctoral thesis research study.
“The client's consent was given as part of a doctoral thesis research study and the full paper of this study can be read via the subsequent publications (O'Brien and Charura 2023, 2024).”
From Person‐Centered Case Formulation: A Culturally Responsive and Trauma Informed Reconceptualization for Psychotraumatology Practice (2026) · cites this paper as O'Brien and Charura 2023
The Informed consent section says participants signed consent forms and gave verbal consent before recording. Our copy does not identify the particular client in the citing sentence or state that the study was part of a doctoral thesis (searched: doctoral thesis, PhD, doctorate). (LLM, conf=0.80)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTrauma amongst refugee and asylum-seeking populations is embodied and culturally mediated.
“The findings further reinforce recent literature which conceptualizes trauma amongst refugee and asylum-seeking populations as embodied and culturally mediated (Murphy et al. 2021;O'Brien and Charura 2023).”
From Person‐Centered Case Formulation: A Culturally Responsive and Trauma Informed Reconceptualization for Psychotraumatology Practice (2026) · cites this paper as O'Brien and Charura 2023
Language is a central issue regarding the formulation of psychological distress with individuals seeking refuge and asylum, especially what is lost in translation.
“A central issue regarding the formulation of psychological distress with individuals who are seeking refuge and asylum is language, especially what is lost in translation (Uphoff and Charura 2016;O'Brien and Charura 2023).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
