Suggested response:
 Reactive attachment disorder  a disorder of infancy or early childhood
characterized by a pattern of disturbed and developmentally inappropriate
attachment behaviors in which the child rarely (or minimally) turns
preferentially to an attachment figure for comfort, support, protection and
nurturance.
 Disinhibited social engagement disorder  the essential feature is a pattern of
behavior that involves inappropriate, overly familiar behavior with relative
strangers.
 Posttraumatic stress disorder  a condition that can develop following
exposure to one or more traumatic and/or terrifying events such as a sexual
assault or a natural disaster; the person with PTSD can have long lasting and
frightening thoughts and memories of the event.
 Acute stress disorder  an essential feature is the development of
characteristic symptoms lasting from 3 days to one month following exposure
to one (or more) traumatic events.
 Adjustment disorders  the essential feature of these disorders reflect the
presence of emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable
stressor.
 Other specified trauma- and stressor-related disorder and unspecified
trauma- and stressor-related disorder  both diagnoses apply when the
person does not meet full criteria for any of the trauma- and stressor-related
disorders. The unspecified designation applies when there is insufficient
information to make a more specific diagnosis (such as the client seen in the
emergency room) and/or the practitioner chooses not to specify the reason
that diagnostic criteria are not met for a specific disorder.

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.
