복합외상(complex trauma)의 개념과 경험적 근거 = An Empirical Review of Complex Trauma

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the most common diagnosis given after a traumatic incident. However, there has been a broad consensus that PTSD does not explain all types of traumatic reponses, which led to the proposition of the notion of Complex PTSD or DESNOS. Complex PTSD or DESNOS is caused by complex trauma, a type of trauma that commonly involves repeated, interpersonal violence. Childhood abuse, family violence, war participation are some examples of the complex trauma. Complex PTSD or DESNOS is known to differ in its symptom manifestation, and therefore different treatment approaches are suggested. This study is a review of the current concepts and empirical evidence of complex PTSD, and its related issues. A few suggestions are given regarding the importance of understanding complext PTSD in Korean society.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

외상후 스트레스 장애(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; PTSD)는 정신적으로 큰 충격을 준 사건을 겪은 이후 지속적으로 심리적 후유증을 나타내는 이들에게 내려지는 대표적인 진단이다. 하지만 PTSD가 다양한 종류의 외상경험자의 증상과 반응양상을 모두 반영하지 못한다는 비판을 받으면서 복합 PTSD 또는 DESNOS 의 개념이 등장하였다. 외상 유형 가운데 대인간 폭력이 주가 되면서 반복적이거나 장기적으로 지속된 외상 유형의 경우(예, 아동폭력, 가정폭력, 난민 경험) 현재 DSM－IV에 수록된 PTSD 증상들과는 다른 증상 특징들을 나타내기에 기존의 PTSD 진단에 한계가 있을 뿐만 아니라 치료적 접근 또한 달라져야 한다고 보는 입장이 있다. 이 연구는 복합 외상에 대하여 기존의 PTSD 진단이 가지고 있는 제한점이 무엇인지, 복합 PTSD(complex PTSD)라는 새로운 진단의 개념과 치료에 관하여 최근까지 발표된 경험적 연구결과들이 무엇인지를 개관하여 소개하고자 한다.
