Abstract
SynopsisThe study assessed the implications of childhood life events, Holocaust background, combat experiences, war captivity and negative post-captivity life events in the mental status of ex-POWs (164) and comparable controls (184), 18 years after the war. Findings confirm the association between stressful life events in the course of the life span and five outcomes: PTSD, intrusion and avoidance tendencies, psychiatric symptomatology, and impaired social functioning. Different life events have different effects. War captivity made the strongest contribution to all dependent variables.
