Testing a DSM-5 reformulation of posttraumatic stress disorder: Impact on prevalence and comorbidity among treatment-seeking civilian trauma survivors.
Van Emmerik, A.A.P., & Kamphuis, J.H. (2011).
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 24, 213-217.
The Brewin criteria for PTSD suggest abolishing criterion A, and retaining a subset of symptoms from criteria B to D, as well as the duration (criterion E) and impairment (criterion F) criteria. The symptom criteria Brewin proposes are: 1) distressing dreams 2) vivid daytie images or flashbacks 3) avoidance of internal trauma reminders 4) hypervigilance 5) exaggerated startle response.
The Brewin criteria do no appreciably affect overall PTSD prevalence or comorbidity. They do impact diagnostic status at the individual level. Approximately two-thirds of participants who lost the PTSD diagnosis qualified for treatment for a comorbid disorder. Reducing symptom overlap of PTSD with depression and anxiety disorders did not reduce comorbidity.
Criterion A is not essential to diagnosing PTSD.
