I'll give this another shot, and hope that those who tend to not understand me will not argue?
It appears that perhaps what Hermann is striving for is a diagnosis that doesn't include the "near death/fear death" experience? That the ongoing, repeated abuse without that element (which is required for PTSD) is why she's pushing for the complex ptsd diagnosis? I mean, that what it appears to me to be in her definitions and explanations. I don't think that would still cover everyone, for surely there are those who experienced the ongoing abuse issues AND feared death?
However, I stick to the results as being equal...assuming everyone has the element of fear of death as PTSD requires... the resulting symptomolgy is the same, regardless of how many traumas, if one developes PTSD. (As opposed to those who endure trauma without developing PTSD for some reason.) The results and the treatment are quite the "same" for all.
The idea is that everyone with PTSD suffers. Hopefully, no matter what direction the experts go in, it will result in good results for the sufferers. (Such as the discovery of the propanolol results.)
Peace?
