“…For example, it has been argued that the construct validity requires more evidence than can be provided by results from latent class and profile analyses alone (Achterhof, Huntjens, Meewisse, & Kiers, 2019 ; Ford, 2020 ; but see Cloitre et al, 2020 ). Arguments against incorporating CPTSD as a psychiatric diagnosis focus on the conflicting definitions of CPTSD (De Jongh et al, 2016 ; Resick et al, 2012 ), evidence regarding different symptom severities rather than distinct symptom sets (Wolf et al, 2015 ), and the absence of standardized measurement tools for the CPTSD diagnosis (De Jongh et al, 2016 ; Landy, Wagner, Brown-bowers, & Candice, 2015 ). However, recent attempts have been made to validate self-report measures to assess CPTSD (Hyland et al, 2017 ; Karatzias et al, 2017 ; Shevlin et al, 2018 ) of which the 12-item version of the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) has been proven to be a valid measure to diagnose CPTSD based on the ICD-11 (Cloitre et al, 2018 ).…”
