“…All instruments were offered in English and Spanish (Spanish versions were validated with Spanish-speaking populations). For the ISA, DAS, and SVAWS, women were asked to report on abuse that had occurred during the last 6 months. For the IES, women were asked to report on the frequency of occurrence during the last 7 days.…”

Abuse is a major source of trauma to women, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) results from exposure to extreme trauma. To describe the relationship between symptoms of PTSD and severity of abuse, an ethnically stratified cohort of 131 abused women in a primary care setting was interviewed. Symptoms of PTSD, both intrusion (i.e., trouble falling asleep, strong waves of feelings about the abuse) and avoidance (i.e., trying not to think or talk about the abuse, staying away from reminders of the abuse), were significantly (p < 0.01) correlated to severity of abuse, regardless of ethnicity. When asked about childhood physical or sexual abuse, women reporting physical abuse had significantly (p < 0.05) higher intrusion scores, whereas those reporting sexual abuse had significantly (p < 0.004) higher avoidance scores. Sixty-five percent of the women reported dreams, flashbacks, or terror attacks and had significantly (p < 0.001) higher mean results on both intrusion and avoidance. The need to offer abused women information about the connection between severity of abuse and symptoms of PTSD is discussed. We recommend that clinicians ask all abused women about dreams, flashbacks, or terror attacks to assess for further symptoms of PTSD.

“…Although many reports have dealt with PTSD across a wide range of subjects, the corpus of these reports is indicative of surveys, case studies, or treatment-oriented investigations (Fairbank, Langley, Jarvie & Keane, 1981). A recent investigation by Saigh (in press), however, explored the effects of PTSD from within the perimeters of an experimental framework.…”

The Fear Survey Schedule (FSS), State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Lebanese Fear Inventory (FLI, an endemic index of war fears) were administered to a sample of Lebanese junior high school students 27 days before the Israeli invasion of 1982. Six months after the disengagement of forces, the investigator located 16 subjects who had been in West Beirut throughout the siege and 46 subjects who had evacuated to safer environs. The inventories were readministered to the subjects according to a counterbalanced regimen and no significant differences were noted between the preinvasion scores of the evacuees and nonevacuees or between the postinvasion scores of the evacuees and nonevacuees. No significant differences were observed when the aggregate FSS and STAI estimates that were recorded before and after the invasion were compared. On the other hand, the aggregate LFI scores were significantly lower after the invasion. The results are discussed from within the social learning framework of fear acquisition.

“…Arnold, 1984;Fairbank, Langley, Jarvie, & Keane, 1981), dozens of clinical reports and empirical studies have documented the existence of a clinical syndrome in combat veterans that overlaps considerably with the diagnostic criteria presented in the DSM-111. These symptoms seem to occur not only in survivors of combat, but also in the survivors of other traumas, such as rape (Burgess & Holmstrom, 1974), disasters (Green, Grace, Lindy, Titchener, & Lindy, 1983) and natural disasters (Titchener & Kapp, 1976).…”

Post-traumatic stress disorder: Evidence for diagnostic validity and methods of psychological assessment

Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a diagnosis that has been the subject of considerable criticism in the clinical literature. Of primary concern has been the question of whether PTSD is a disorder that can be discriminated reliably from already existing diagnoses, such as depression, dysthymia, or generalized anxiety disorder. This paper reviews the evidence that surrounds this controversy and employs the guidelines for validating a diagnosis established by Robins and Guze (1970) as the framework for the review. A second purpose of this paper is to present a multiaxial approach for the assessment of PTSD. This approach includes the use of structured interviews, psychometrics, and a psychophysiological assessment procedure. Studies that support the reliability and validity of the components of the multiaxial method are reviewed.
