Abstract
The International Classification of Diseases 11th Version (ICD-11) will include Complex Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder (CPTSD) as a unique diagnostic entity comprising core PTSD and DSO (disturbances in self-organization) symptoms. The current study had three aims: (1) assessing the validity of CPTSD in a unique population of
male perpetrators of intimate partner violence; (2) examining whether exposure to different types of traumatic
events would be associated with the two proposed CPTSD factors, namely PTSD or DSO; and (3) assessing the
differential association of various sociodemographic and symptom characteristics with each factor. Participants
were 234 males drawn randomly from a sample of 2600 men receiving treatment at 66 domestic violence centers
in Israel. Data were collected using the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) – Hebrew version.
Confirmatory factor analysis supported the factorial validity of ICD-11 CPTSD. Cumulative lifetime trauma and
physical childhood neglect were associated with PTSD and DSO, while cumulative childhood violence exposure
was associated only with DSO. Anxiety was associated only with DSO; depression more strongly with DSO than
PTSD. Religious level contributed only to PTSD; compulsory military service only to DSO. The study supports the
distinction between PTSD and DSO in the CPTSD construct and introduces the role of cultural variables.
