Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD) as per ICD ‐11 proposals: A population study in Israel

ConclusionsThese results partially support the factorial validity and strongly support the discriminant validity of the ICD‐11 proposals for PTSD and CPTSD in a nationally representative sample using a disorder‐specific measure; findings also supported the international applicability of these diagnoses. Further research is required to determine the prevalence rates of PTSD and CPTSD in national representative samples across different countries and explore the predictive utility of different types of traumatic life events on PTSD and CPTSD.
