Abstract
Wide-ranging, PTSD heterogeneity was reflected in clinical symptom pattern variability. Symptom pattern sequences from CAPS IV and PCL data were discordant. Positive clinical treatment outcomes manifested as expected decreases in the number of PTSD symptom patterns and corresponding increases in nPTSD symptom patterns. Impact on PTSD research will be discussed.
