Conceptualising Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex PTSD: Video Course
Conceptualising Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex PTSD: Video Course
The focus of this training is the conceptualisation and assessment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). We consider:
- The nature and main features of PTSD, including the main criteria and symptoms as identified by Diagnostic Statistical Manual version 5 (DSM-V) (APA, 2013)
- The recent addition of subtype: PTSD with Prominent Dissociative Symptoms will also be explored, and we will evaluate its link to dissociative disorders and childhood abuse
- In addition, the diagnostic category of C-PTSD by the World Health Organisation in the International Classification of Diseases version 11 (ICD-11; WHO, 2019) will be introduced and assessed. We will consider its robustness as a more inclusive and comprehensive formulation of PTSD that accounts for prolonged and repeated exposure to interpersonal trauma
- The myriad clinical challenges in diagnosing PTSD and C-PTSD will be unpacked including:o the impact of subsyndromal PTSDo the need to view PTSD on a spectrum and the value of reformulating it as Post Traumatic Injury rather than a disorder
- We will also consider the link between C-PTSD and personality disorder, in particular Borderline Personality Disorder, Dissociative Disorders, Somatic Symptoms and Related Disorders evaluating both comorbidity and misdiagnosis
