I was curious about it, too. I glanced at the proposed criteria today and it looks, to me, like they added some of what we call CPTSD to the diagnositc criteria, like negative perceptions of self & world, blame, negative emotional states, and detachment.

I know this is a contentious subject for many people. If this is what they are moving towards for the DSM V, it seems like an expanded understanding of PTSD that integrates more of the effects we know come from chronic trauma.
