Interpersonal trauma and PTSD: The roles of gender and a lifespan perspective in predicting risk.

Abstract: Research has shown that women's increased risk for interpersonal trauma (IPT) may place them at heightened risk for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, research has not shown whether the timing of IPT exposure and revictimization impact PTSD development, and whether this may also account for observed gender disparities in PTSD. Consensus coding was used to group 180 undergraduate participants into one of four IPT exposure groups: no exposure, childhood only, adolescent/adulthood only, life span. Wom… Show more

“…Combat was categorized as a non-interpersonal trauma, consistent with previous research that has used TLEQ categories to determine the interpersonal nature of trauma (Lilly & Valdez, 2012; Lim, Adams, & Lilly, 2012; Orcutt, Pickett, & Pope, 2005). The determination to consider combat as a non-interpersonal trauma is due to the fact that it likely represents a very different type and context of trauma compared to, for example, a sexual assault.…”

“…Epidemiologic data indicate that women tend to experience a higher incidence of lifetime IPV and revictimization than men (Lilly & Valdez, ; Tang & Freyd, ), gender differences that have been found consistently across varying socioeconomic strata, geographic locations, and cultures (Tang & Freyd, ). Recurrent experiences of IPV may be one reason among many why women have twice the rate of PTSD as men (Iverson et al., , Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, ; Kessler et al., ), exhibit PTSD symptoms for four times as long as men, report significantly poorer quality of life, and develop more comorbid psychiatric disorders (Breslau et al., ; Holbrook, Hoyt, Stein, & Sieber, ; Institute of Medicine, ; Seedat, Stein, & Carey, ).…”
