Psychological Assessment of PTSD

  • Chapter
Psychotraumatology

Part of the book series: The Springer Series on Stress and Coping ((SSSO))

Abstract

Behavioral and psychological reactions following a traumatic event are an inherent part of the human condition (Jones & Barlow, 1990), and the effects of traumatic stressors have been clinically observed since the Civil War (Ettedgui & Bridges, 1985). Not until 1980, however, did posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) become nosologically defined within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1980) as a disorder. As a result of this recognition, research efforts have grown considerably, generating a substantial amount of information on assessment and treatment.
