Figures & data

Table 1. Comparison of the clinical and non-clinical samples.

Figure 1. Competing measurement models. CPTSD = complex post-traumatic stress disorder; PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder; DSO = disturbances in self-organization; RE =  re-experiencing; AV = avoidance; TH = current sense of threat; AD = affective dysregulation; NSC = negative self-concept; DR = disturbed relationships.

CPTSD = complex post-traumatic stress disorder; PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder; DSO = disturbances in self-organization; RE =  re-experiencing; AV = avoidance; TH = current sense of threat; AD = affective dysregulation; NSC = negative self-concept; DR = disturbed relationships.

Table 2. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disturbances in self-organization (DSO) symptom and dysfunction scores; and PTSD, DSO, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) criteria prevalence rates.

Table 3. Model fit of the measurement models.

Figure 2. Factor loadings, correlation estimates, and reliability indices for the modified Model 6. λ = standardized factor loading; r = correlation estimate; ω = model-based internal reliability omega estimate. Estimates with subscript C are presented in the clinical sample, while estimates subscript NC are presented in the non-clinical sample. All estimates are significant at at least the p ≤ .003 level. PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder; DSO = disturbances in self-organization; RE =  re-experiencing; AV = avoidance; TH = current sense of threat; AD = affective dysregulation; NSC = negative self-concept; DR = disturbed relationships.
