Producer: VPA/Brattleboro Retreat
ICD-11 introduced a new diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) alongside PTSD. This change was motivated by a World Health Organization (WHO) survey of over 1300 clinicians across different regions of the world, which identified that the change most frequently requested by clinicians was the addition of a complex PTSD diagnosis to account for the substantial impairment and diversity of problems seen among individuals with chronic and repeated forms of trauma. This presentation will summarize the rationale and evidence for the CPTSD diagnosis, including important differential diagnosis considerations, with a particular focus on comparisons to borderline personality disorder (BPD). Assessment options, including both self-report and clinician-administered measures, will be presented. Recommendations for treatment and emerging evidence for new and adapted psychotherapy interventions will be discussed. Enhanced Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (ESTAIR), an evidence-based, patient-centered, flexible modular treatment approach combining both skills training and trauma processing, will be highlighted. The need to attend to cultural and individual differences will also be discussed.
