“…This is consistent with research in obstetric and other trauma samples suggesting dissociation may be an early marker for the development of PTSD (Olde, et al, 2005;Van der Velden, et al, 2006;Van Son, Verkerk, Van der Hart, Komproe, & Pop, 2005). For example, Olde et al, (2005) found that intrapartum psychoform dissociation and somatoform dissociation were strongly related to PTSD symptoms three months after birth, even after controlling for negative emotions during birth. Dissociation is a broad concept that can describe symptoms, a process, or a pattern of personality organisation (Vermetten, Dorahy, & Spiegel, 2007).…”

“…Furthermore, it is unclear whether our results can be generalized to types of trauma from other than man-made disasters (see, for instance, the results on childbirth stress by Olde et al, 2005). Potential risk factors such as peritraumatic dissociation may not be equivalent across different types of trauma (Brewin, Andrews, & Valentine, 2000).…”

The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for postdisaster intrusions, avoidance reactions, and PTSD symptom severity: A 4-year prospective study

This 4-year prospective study (N = 662) of victims of a fireworks disaster examines the independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for self-reported intrusions, avoidance reactions, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity at both 18-months (T2) and almost 4-years postdisaster (T3). Peritraumatic dissociation was measured 2-3 weeks after the disaster (T1). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that peritraumatic dissociation was not a strong independent predictor for intrusions and avoidance reactions and PTSD symptom severity at T2 or at T3 above initial intrusions, avoidance reactions, and psychological distress (T1). Results suggest that an early screening procedure for peritraumatic dissociation, which is aimed at identifying disaster victims who are at risk for long-term psychological disturbances can be omitted.B.

The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for PTSD symptomatology after type I trauma: a systematic review of prospective studies. The independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation for PTSD symptomatology after type I trauma: a systematic review of prospective studies AbstractWe conducted a systematic review of prospective studies examining the independent predictive value of peritraumatic dissociation (PD) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology following single traumatic events. Insight into the independent predictive value may help to identify victims at risk for PTSD symptomatology. For this purpose a literature search was carried out using the online databases PsycINFO, Medline/Pubmed, and PILOTS. Studies were included if they were published in peer-reviewed journals (before 2007), focused on more or less single traumatic events (Type I trauma), assessed PD within 1 month, had follow-ups 3 months or later, and which controlled for mental health problems at the time PD was assessed. The majority of the 17 identified studies showed no or only weak indications of an independent predictive value of PD for PTSD symptomatology following type I traumas. Only 3 of the 6 studies with positive results reported a strong independent predictive value of PD. Although bivariately associated with PTSD symptomatology, there is no general consensus across prospective Type I trauma studies that PD qualifies as an important independent predictor of PTSD symptomatology.
