POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER 1998
Full text articles and references are available by subscription.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is underdiagnosed in injured children

"Thin Skull" susceptibility to PTSD is predictable and detectable

A causal link with the compensable injury should be critically evaluated not assumed post hoc ergo propter hoc

PTSD may be worsened by concurrent psychiatric conditions, and complicated by suicide and substance abuse

Malingered PTSD is readily detectable unless there is also alcohol abuse

The benefits of traditional therapy are not adversely affected by involvement in litigation and are robust over time
