The relationship between complex PTSD and dissociation: longitudinal findings across Western and South Asian female samples
This study provides updated and cross-cultural data showing that dissociation is associated with an increase in PTSD symptoms over time, though its association with DSO symptoms is less clear. Assessment, prevention, and treatment of PTSD should take dissociative symptoms into consideration.
