Full Product Description
The DAPS is a self–report instrument that assesses peri– and posttraumatic symptoms and associated features related to a specific traumatic event. It provides a detailed assessment of PTSD in a short amount of time.
Features and benefits
A 104–item measure, the DAPS generates a tentative diagnosis of PTSD or acute stress disorder in considerably less time than is required for a structured diagnostic interview. This diagnosis can then be confirmed by a clinical interview.
Measures trauma exposure in detail. It not only evaluates the respondent’s cumulative lifetime history of DSM–IV traumatic 7 events
(including experiences of childhood sexual abuse), but it also assesses his or her immediate dissociative, cognitive, and emotional responses at the time of whatever trauma is specified for evaluation.
Generates a probable diagnosis of PTSD, in addition to measuring symptom severity.
Includes specific scales for three associated features of PTSD: trauma–specific dissociation, suicidality, and substance abuse.
Additional information on these comorbid symptoms contributes to a more complete psychological assessment and often has direct clinical implications for the treatment of traumatized individuals.
Assesses both current and lifetime history of DSM–IV–TR™
trauma exposure and the severity and clinical significance of the client’s posttraumatic symptoms, including dissociative, cognitive, and emotional responses.
Derived from the DAPS, the PSS screens individuals for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality in under 5 minutes.
