<unk>  occurs in reaction to extraordinary but everyday negative life events like divorce or dismissal. The question is why and under which conditions this results in a pathological reaction. Critical life events always trigger negative emotions like fear, uncertainty, disorientation, anger, or impairment in a person's mood. There are traumatic events, which lead to pathological emotionsstates which are no longer under control of the affected person and develop into dysfunctional behavior with strong suffering for the affected person and his or her environment. This is the case after strong spells of panic, which can lead to a<unk>  stress<unk> . Another form of “traumatic” events are those that violate “basic beliefs”. Basic beliefs or cognitive schemata are a cognitive reference system which structures the perception of the world, what is seen as important or not, and what is necessary to be done. They are usually not questioned and are associated with positive feelings as long as the world complies with our cognitive schemata. These "basic beliefs", "cognitive schemata" or "ideology" are of great individual and social importance. If an event is too important to be ignored and an “assimilation” of the event in existing schemata or basic beliefs is not possible, or a change/adaptation of these schemata (“accommodation”) is unthinkable, this can lead to an “adaptation<unk> ”.<unk>  arises when basic beliefs are questioned, attacked, disproved or degraded through a life event or the behaviour of others. The theory of “violation of basic beliefs” explains why events, which seem to be trivial for some people, can be of importance to others. What is seen as an injustice, insult or humiliation depends on personal beliefs and values.
