This book challenges the assumptions of the event-dominated DSM
model of posttraumatic stress disorder. Bowmam examines a series of
questions directed at the current mental health model, reviewing
the empirical literature. She finds that the dose-response
assumptions are not supported; the severity of events is not
reliable associated with PTSD, but is more reliably associated with
important pre-event risk factors. She reviews evidence showing the
greater role of individual differences including trait negative
affectivity, belief systems, and other risk factors, in comparison
with event characteristics, in predicting the disorder. The
implications for treatment are significant, as treatment protocols
reflect the DSM assertion that event exposure is the cause of the
disorder, implying it should be the focus of treatment. Bowman also
suggests that an event focus in diagnosis anad treatment risks
increases the disorder because it does not provide sufficient
attention to important pre-exisiting risk factors.
