Commentary: Developmental Trauma Disorder: A Missed Opportunity in DSM V.
Year: 2014
Type: editorial
Abstract: This is a commentary on the proposal of van der Kolk, et al. (2009) to include the diagnosis of developmental trauma disorder in the DSM V. As is now known, it was not accepted. Importantly, a commentary relating to this must include comments on both diagnosis and trauma in children. We will first comment on general issues of diagnostic systems in child psychiatry and then, if we are to use DSM V, why there should be a separate category for developmental trauma.
