直到最近，精神卫生界才认识到儿童和青少年创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的诊断标准的适用性，包括对特定年龄相关特征的考虑。本文综述了儿童和青少年创伤后应激障碍的相关文献。在讨论了这一人群中这种情感障碍的诊断标准和评估问题之后，对现有的关于患病率、合并症、危险因素、父母和家庭因素以及性别和发病年龄的文献进行了概述。本文的其余部分主要关注儿童和青少年中可能导致PTSD的创伤性应激源的范围，包括自然或人为灾害、战争和暴力、慢性或危及生命的医疗条件、社区暴力和目睹创伤事件、身体和/或性虐待以及其他形式的人际暴力。在整个论文中，强调了考虑发展因素的重要性。最后，讨论了现有文献对未来研究领域的影响。
Only recently has the mental health community recognized the applicability of diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children and adolescents, including a consideration of specific age-related features. This paper provides a current review of the literature on PTSD pertaining to children and adolescents. Following a discussion of issues on diagnostic criteria and assessment of this affective disorder in this population, there is an overview of the existing literature on prevalence, comorbidity, risk factors, parental and family factors, and issues of gender and age of onset. The remainder of the paper focuses on the range of traumatic stressors in children and adolescents that can result in PTSD, including natural or human disasters, war and violence, chronic or life-threatening medical conditions, community violence and the witnessing of traumatic events, and physical and/ or sexual abuse and other forms of interpersonal violence. Throughout the paper, there is an emphasis on the importance of considering developmental factors. Finally, implications of the existing literature for future areas of research are addressed.
