Abstract
Objective Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) will be
introduced in ICD-11 and comprises symptoms of PTSD and disturbances in self-organisation (DSO). The association of trauma with
PTSD and DSO is not yet fully understood. We investigated the
path from child maltreatment to PTSD and DSO and examined the
mediating role of emotion regulation (ER) and adult interpersonal
re-victimisation.
Method Adult patients (N = 193) from a Scottish National Health
Service clinic participated in the project. Participants completed
measures of life events, ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD, and ER. Path analysis was used to assess possible direct and indirect effects from childhood trauma on current post-traumatic psychopathology.
Results Overall results indicate that the path from child maltreatment to PTSD is a direct one, while the path to DSO is indirectly
mediated by ER.
Conclusions Future research should address the potentially beneficial effect of treatment protocols for CPTSD explicitly aiming at
reducing ER difficulties.
