Treating children traumatized by war and Tsunami: a comparison between exposure therapy and meditation-relaxation in North-East Sri Lanka. BMC Psychiatry. 2009;9(1):22.Background: The North-Eastern part of Sri Lanka had already been affected by civil war when the 2004 Tsunami wave hit the region, leading to high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children. In the acute aftermath of the Tsunami we tested the efficacy of two pragmatic short-term interventions when applied by trained local counselors. Methods: A randomized treatment comparison was implemented in a refugee camp in a severely affected community. 31 children who presented with a preliminary diagnosis of PTSD were randomly assigned either to six sessions Narrative Exposure Therapy for children (KIDNET) or six sessions of meditation-relaxation (MED-RELAX). Outcome measures included severity of PTSD symptoms, level of functioning and physical health. Results: In both treatment conditions, PTSD symptoms and impairment in functioning were significantly reduced at one month post-test and remained stable over time. At 6 months follow-up, recovery rates were 81% for the children in the KIDNET group and 71% for those in the MED-RELAX group. There was no significant difference between the two therapy groups in any outcome measure. Conclusion: As recovery rates in the treatment groups exceeded the expected rates of natural recovery, the study provides preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of NET as well as meditation-relaxation techniques when carried out by trained local counselors for the treatment of PTSD in children in the direct aftermath of mass disasters.

    COUNTERCYCLICAL CAPITAL BUFFERS, BANK CONCENTRATION AND MACROFINANCIAL STABILITY IN AN AGENT-BASED MACRO-FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK

    This paper examines the impact of countercyclical capital buffers (CCyBs) on financial stability and contributes to the discussion of CCyBs in an agent-based framework. The main focus of this work lies upon the question whether the implementation of CCyBs according to the Basel III framework improves financial stability unconditionally, or at the expense of unintended side effects. For this purpose, we extend the agent-based model of [Riccetti, L., Russo, A. and Gallegati, M., Firm-bank credit network, business cycle and macroprudential policy, J. Econ. Interact. Coord. (2021)] to investigate the effect of credit-to-GDP gap-based CCyBs in general as well as the effects of varying the smoothing parameter lambda A of the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter within the method of calculating CCyBs. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first one that investigates systematically how the method of calculating credit-to-GDP gap-based CCyBs may affect macrofinancial dynamics and stability in such an agent-based framework
