Abstract:
The assessment of trauma-related disorders is increasingly important in forensic psychiatric expert opinion. The most important diagnosis in this context is posttraumatic stress disorder. Diagnostic criteria of this disorder are outlined. Differential diagnostic considerations with regard to less specific symptom complexes, such as the complex posttraumatic stress disorder are discussed. Furthermore the significance of symptom validity tests is critically discussed. Test results have to be considered carefully in the medicolegal context and require thorough clinical assessment.
