Abstract:
Since its introduction as a diagnostic category in DSM-III, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder has been the subject of continuing nosologic disagreement. Two theoretical perspectives-one emphasizing traumatic imagery, the other conditioned anxiety-subtly permeate the field. A sizable empirical database has also accrued. These contributions are discussed in the context of nosologic arguments endorsing the theoretical construct and the applicability of the DSM-III-R criteria set.
