As simple as possible, but not simpler: Revisiting the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) complex PTSD items omitted in the shortened version
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The risks of oversimplification of the symptomatology of Complex PTSD (CPTSD) have been highlighted in the literature.
OBJECTIVE: To re-examine 10 items representing disturbances in self-organization (DSO) that were deleted from the original 28-item version of the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) when creating the current 12-item version.
