New publication: ISTSS Briefing Paper 2025 on trauma care for children and adolescents

The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) has published its latest Briefing Paper 2025. It addresses the need to improve access to evidence-based treatments for traumatized children and adolescents worldwide. Although it is well known which treatment approaches effectively alleviate the psychological consequences of trauma in young people, the transfer of this knowledge into practice is often hampered by myths and misunderstandings. The ISTSS Briefing Paper 2025 highlights these challenges and outlines ways to achieve scalable, global solutions. The paper was written by a team of leading international experts in the field of child and adolescent traumatology, including Prof. Dr. Elisa Pfeiffer, Prof. Dr. Cedric Sachser, Prof. Dr. Lucy Berliner, Dr. Yo Jackson, Prof. Dr. Tine Jensen, and Dr. Richard Meiser-Stedman.

New Misophonia Podcast

Everyday noises such as chewing or typing can be extremely stressful for people affected by misophonia, which goes far beyond normal sensitivity to noise. The current BR podcast “DIE FRAGE” tells the story of someone affected by misophonia and offers exciting insights into misophonia. As a researcher in this field, Prof. Dr. Elisa Pfeiffer had the opportunity to contribute some scientific findings on misophonia to the podcast. The podcast is available free of charge at:: Misophonie: Schmatzen macht mich aggressiv - ab wann bin ich krank? - Die Frage | BR Podcast
