AB  - INTRODUCTION: For over a century, the occurrence of dissociative symptoms in 
      connection to traumatic exposure has been acknowledged in the scientific 
      literature. Recently, the importance of dissociation has also been recognized in 
      the long-term traumatic response within the DSM-5 nomenclature. Several studies 
      have confirmed the existence of the dissociative posttraumatic stress disorder 
      (PTSD) subtype. However, there is a lack of studies investigating latent profiles 
      of PTSD solely in victims with PTSD. PURPOSE AND METHOD: This study investigates 
      the possible presence of PTSD subtypes using latent class analysis (LCA) across 
      two distinct trauma samples meeting caseness for DSM-5 PTSD based on self-reports 
      (N = 787). Moreover, we assessed if a number of risk factors resulted in an 
      increased probability of membership in a dissociative compared with a 
      non-dissociative PTSD class. RESULTS: The results of LCA revealed a two-class 
      solution with two highly symptomatic classes: a dissociative class and a 
      non-dissociative class across both samples. Increased emotion-focused coping 
      increased the probability of individuals being grouped into the dissociative 
      class across both samples. Social support reduced the probability of individuals 
      being grouped into the dissociative class but only in the victims of motor 
      vehicle accidents (MVAs) suffering from whiplash. CONCLUSIONS: The results are 
      discussed in light of their clinical implications and suggest that the 
      dissociative subtype can be identified in victims of incest and victims of MVA 
      suffering from whiplash meeting caseness for DSM-5 PTSD.
