Russian term

симптомы вынужденной близости к травме

Russian to English Social Sciences Psychology PTSD
Trauma therapy with children:
Вследствие травматических событий у детей очень часто проявляется посттравматическое стрессовое расстройство (Schwerwath, 2012). Его симптомы можно поделить на 3 группы: гипервозбуждение, симптомы вынужденной близости к травме и симптомы ее избегающие (Eckardt, 2005).

I've got: "...Its symptoms can be divided into three groups: hyperarousal, symptoms of forced proximity to trauma, and symptoms of avoidance."

But "symptoms of forced proximity to trauma" doesn't really make sense.

Discussion

Susan Welsh (asker) Nov 19, 2015:
yes I was not asking for an ID of PTSD, but a translation of the Russian phrase.
Samantha Payn Nov 19, 2015:
Post-traumatic stress disorder? PTSD is commonly used to describe the symptoms of having been unavoidably exposed to a traumatic situation.

Repetition compulsion is a psychological phenomenon in which a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again. This includes reenacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again.

Then you might translate it as feeling compelled to re-approach the traumatic situation or something along those lines.

Or even revisit the trauma
Note from asker:
I'm not sure, since the phrase НАВЯЗЧИВОЕ ПОВТОРЕНИЕ exists for this. http://vocabulary.ru/dictionary/18/word/navjazchivoe-povtorenie-repetition-compulsion

feelings of re-living the traumatic experience

That is the meaning, i leave it up to you to phrase it better, of course.

При ПТСР в результате травмы развиваются характерные симптомы, таике как повторяющиеся ощущения переживания травмы вновь, избегание напоминаний о травме, бесчувственность и равнодушие, постоянные признаки повышенной возбудимости (APA, 1994).
