Early Childhod Trauma and Disorders of Extreme Stress as Predictors of Treatment Outcome with Chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

As published in the October 1998 issue of the Journal of Traumatic Stress, 11(4), 743-761.

Julian Ford investigated early trauma and DESNOS as contributing factors in treatment outcome, in this study of adult chronic PTSD inpatients. Although early trauma is correlated with a diagnosis of DESNOS, the authors found that DESNOS was a stronger predictor of treatment non-responding in this patient population. Implications for treatment planning are discussed. 74 references. "
