通过对黑猩猩（Pan troglodytes troglodytes）居住在一个保护区的案例研究的分析，我们说明了人类的心理模型的诊断和治疗可能会接近类人猿。这项研究反映了人们对与动物心理健康相关的伦理、科学和实践问题的日益关注。分析得出的结论是，黑猩猩复杂性PTSD的诊断与DSM-IV和人类创伤研究所描述的创伤诱导症状的描述一致。我们将讨论这些发现如何与圈养黑猩猩的诊断和治疗及其继续实验室使用的问题。这项临床研究有助于理论和治疗实践的一个新兴的跨物种心理学包括人类和其他物种。这种扩展我们对人类创伤模型的了解的能力，开启了对我们自己以及其他物种个体的更深入理解和洞察。doi：10.1080/15299730802073619（C）2008由The Haworth Press.

Through the analysis of case studies of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) in residence at a sanctuary, who previously sustained prolonged captivity and biomedical experimentation, we illustrate how human psychological models of diagnosis and treatment might be approached in great apes. This study reflects growing attention to ethical, scientific, and practical problems associated with psychological well-being of animals. The analysis concludes that a diagnosis of Complex PTSD in chimpanzees is consistent with descriptions of trauma-induced symptoms as described by the DSM-IV and human trauma research. We discuss how these findings relate to diagnosis and treatment of chimpanzees in captivity and the issue of their continued laboratory use. This clinical study contributes toward theory and therapeutic practices of an emergent trans-species psychology inclusive of both humans and other species. Such an ability to extend what we know about models of human trauma opens deeper understanding and insights into ourselves as well as individuals from other species. doi: 10.1080/15299730802073619 (C) 2008 by The Haworth Press.
