I hope this is not a posting violation, but my copy of the DSM is at my office and I am in quick need of a page number reference. Would someone be kind enough to locate for me the page number where the diagnostic criteria for PTSD begins:
A. The person has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both of the following were present:
(1) the person experienced, witnessed, or was confronted with an event or events that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self or others
(2) the person's response involved intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Note: In children, this may be expressed instead by disorganized or agitated behavior
Thanks in advance.
