PTSD symptoms which can arise following a traumatic event include intrusions, avoidance, and alterations in cognition, arousal, and reactivity.
In this presentation, Dr. Barbara Rothbaum discusses PTSD diagnostic criteria and how to understand it from the perspective of prolonged exposure therapy.
Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:
1. The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD include an outside event, the trauma.
2. The subcategories of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD include symptoms of intrusion, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and marked alterations in arousal and reactivity.
3. The DSM symptoms of PTSD are part of the normal response to trauma.
