Abstract:
The authors consider current views on and approaches to trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are doubts about the correctness and validity of allocation of PTSD entirely according to psychogenesis of the disease. The authors consider the «post-traumatic» as a type of response to extreme stress. PTSD is characterized as a nonspecific pathological form of disease, which can occur in the structure of different mental disorders. Based on considering two approaches (cerebrotraumatic and psychosomatic) in solving the current issue, the authors suggest that PTSD is a psychogenic-organic disorder.
