1. Complex trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD in African refugees.Researchers compared DSM-5 and ICD-11 post-traumatic stress disorder diagnoses and evaluated the discriminant validity of ICD-11, PTSD, and CPTSD constructs120 treatment-seeking African refugees living in Italy. All participants were survivors of at least one complex trauma.79% of the participants met the DSM-5 criteria for PTSD, 38% for ICD-11 PTSD and 30% for ICD-11 CPTSD. Two distinct groups: (1) a PTSD class, (2) a CPTSD class. None of the demographic and trauma-related variables analysed was significantly associated with diagnostic group.Findings... support the discriminant validity of PTSD and CPTSD amongst refugees exposed to torture and other gross violations of human rights. The results suggest also that, in the post-traumatic phase, the time spent in a ‘safe place’ condition contributes to improve the severity of post-traumatic symptomatology, but neither this variable nor other socio-demographic factors seem to contribute to the emergence of complex PTSD.discriminant validity of ICD-11, PTSD, CPTSDThey found distinct PTSD and CPTSD groups but seem to find no correlation between demographic group, experience of trauma, or post-traumatic environment/care and which diagnosis a person received. What accounts for the difference between who develops which?
