List and briefly describe the trauma- and stressor-related disorders
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested response:
? Reactive attachment disorder – a disorder of infancy or early childhood
characterized by a pattern of disturbed and developmentally inappropriate
attachment behaviors in which the child rarely (or minimally) turns
preferentially to an attachment figure for comfort, support, protection and
nurturance.
? Disinhibited social engagement disorder – the essential feature is a pattern of
behavior that involves inappropriate, overly familiar behavior with relative
strangers.
? Posttraumatic stress disorder – a condition that can develop following
exposure to one or more traumatic and/or terrifying events such as a sexual
assault or a natural disaster; the person with PTSD can have long lasting and
frightening thoughts and memories of the event.
? Acute stress disorder – an essential feature is the development of
characteristic symptoms lasting from 3 days to one month following exposure
to one (or more) traumatic events.
? Adjustment disorders – the essential feature of these disorders reflect the
presence of emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable
stressor.
? Other specified trauma- and stressor-related disorder and unspecified
trauma- and stressor-related disorder – both diagnoses apply when the
person does not meet full criteria for any of the trauma- and stressor-related
disorders. The unspecified designation applies when there is insufficient
information to make a more specific diagnosis (such as the client seen in the
emergency room) and/or the practitioner chooses not to specify the reason
that diagnostic criteria are not met for a specific disorder.
