Trauma‐related dissociative states and long‐term psychopathology in posttraumatic stress disorder
Abstract
Dissociative responses to trauma have been hypothesized to be associated with long‐term increases in psychopathology. The purpose of this study was to examine dissociative responses to premilitary, combat‐related and postmilitary traumatic events and long‐term psychopathology in Vietnam combat veterans with (n = 34) and without (n = 28) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD patients reported higher levels of dissociative states at the time of combat‐related traumatic events than non‐PTSD patients. Higher levels of dissociative states persisted in PTSD patients in the form of higher levels of dissociative states in response to postmilitary traumatic events. In addition, dissociative responses to combat trauma were associated with higher long‐term general dissociative symptomatology as measured by scores on the Dissociative Experience Scale, as well as increases in the number of flashbacks since the time of the war. These findings are consistent with previous formulations that dissociation in the face of trauma is a marker of long‐term psychopathology.

“General dissociative symptomatology was evaluated with the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DBS), a 28-item, self-report instrument for the measurement of dissociative experiences which is widely used and has demonstrated reliability and validity ( Bernstein & Putnam, 1986; Loewenstein & Putnam, 1988).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
