Complex PTSD and trauma related disorders

Talking about trauma has never been easy.

From the days of Freud to the present, discussion of trauma and its sequela has caused division. PTSD was only included in the DSM-III in 1980.

From the outset, clinicians noticed that the original definition did not adequately cover the full spectrum of symptoms seen in people with long-standing and repeated traumatic experiences, especially in childhood.

The term "complex PTSD" was first proposed by Judith Herman in 1992 to better characterize the effects of chronic, repeated trauma, particularly interpersonal trauma that began in childhood. In the 30 years since, the diagnosis has yet to be included in the DSM but was included in ICD-11 in 2018.

In this webinar, we hope to explore what makes complex PTSD so complex.
