PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) -5 |
The Posttraumatic checklist (PCL-5) is a measure of perceived PTSD symptom severity in the past month. It was used to assess the likelihood of a PTSD diagnosis given 20 symptom descriptions (items) reflecting the DSM-5 criteria. Clients rated the extent to which they were troubled by PTSD symptoms on a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 for "Not at all" to 4 for "Extremely"). |

The International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) |
A 17-item self-report measure of ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD were used to assess the CPTSD symptoms. Clients rated the extent to which they were troubled by CPTSD symptoms in the previous one month period on a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 for "Not at all to 4 for "Extremely"), reflecting the three clusters of disturbances in self-organization (DSO) in CPTSD (affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in relationships). |

Trauma-Related Altered States of Consciousness (TRASC): |
A 10-item self-report measure was used to survey a spectrum of dissociative experiences. Clients rated the extent to which they were troubled by TRASC symptoms on a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 for "Not at all" to 4 for "Extremely"). A total score was calculated across the items 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 . Two items assessed depersonalization and derealization as in the Dissociative-PTSD subtype and the other items assessed the phenomenology of TRASC more broadly in reference to the subjective dimensions of time, thought, body, and emotion as per the 4-D model of trauma-related dissociation |
