TI  - Dissociative symptoms in acute stress disorder.
PG  - 673-80
AB  - This study provides a profile of symptoms, and particularly dissociative 
      symptoms, in the diagnosis of acute stress disorder (ASD) following motor vehicle 
      accidents (MVAs). Consecutive adult non-brain-injured admissions to a major 
      trauma hospital (N = 92) were assessed between 2 days and 4 weeks following an 
      MVA. Presence of ASD was determined by a structured clinical interview. The 
      occurrence of full and subsyndromal ASD was approximately 13% and 21%, 
      respectively. The majority of those who met criteria for subsyndromal ASD did not 
      meet the ASD criteria for dissociation. At least 80% of individuals who reported 
      derealization also reported reduced awareness and depersonalization. This 
      significant overlap between dissociative symptoms questions the discriminatory 
      power and conceptual independence of the dissociative criteria. These findings 
      suggest the need for a more refined conceptual and operational understanding of 
      dissociative symptoms in the acute trauma stage.
