Suggested response:
These disorders include exposure to a traumatic or stressful event (which is
listed explicitly as a diagnostic criterion);
These disorders are located in the DSM-5 to reflect their close relationship
with the disorders in surrounding chapters; specifically the anxiety
disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and the dissociative
disorders;
The psychological stress that follows exposure to a traumatic or stressful
event varies according to the specific diagnosis listed in this chapter;
The specific expressions of clinical distress following exposure to catastrophic
or aversive events varies with each disorder;
Additionally, social neglect is a diagnostic requirement for reactive
attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder.
