ICD-11 Criteria for Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (6B41)
Complex post traumatic stress
disorder (Complex PTSD) is a disorder that may develop following exposure to an
event or series of events of an extremely threatening or horrific nature, most
commonly prolonged or repetitive events from which escape is difficult or
impossible (e.g. torture, slavery, genocide campaigns, prolonged domestic
violence, repeated childhood sexual or physical abuse). All diagnostic
requirements for PTSD are met. In addition, Complex PTSD is characterised by
severe and persistent 1) problems in affect regulation; 2) beliefs about
oneself as diminished, defeated or worthless, accompanied by feelings of shame,
guilt or failure related to the traumatic event; and 3) difficulties in
sustaining relationships and in feeling close to others. These symptoms cause
significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational
or other important areas of functioning.
