Psychological trauma at different developmental stages and ICD-11 CPTSD: The role of dissociation
Sally Jowett, Thanos Karatzias, Mark Shevlin, Philip Hyland
Abstract
: Dissociation mediates the relationship between reported trauma exposure and the presence of ICD-11 CPTSD symptom clusters, and this relationship appears at its strongest when trauma occurs in childhood. CPTSD interventions should also promote dissociation management to aid recovery from this debilitating condition.
