  • Development and evaluation of a centralized assessment hub for the clinician-administered PTSD Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (Caps-5)

    Open AccessMichelle J Bovin, Kristina Caudle et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2025

    Our Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition training protocol was used successfully in the largest PTSD clinical trial to date. The use of a centralized assessment hub ensured highly accurate assessment that likely could not have been achieved using site-based raters across multiple sites.

    Sharon Kramper, Eric S Crosby et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2023

    Future research should consider strategies to mitigate the negative consequences that result from unavoidable exposure to highly stressful events in the veterinary workplace. Moreover, the types of events specific to veterinary medicine should be considered when assessing for traumatic events and post-exposure symptoms in veterinary professionals.

  • Is posttraumatic growth trauma-specific? Invariance across trauma- and stressor-exposed groups

    Madison W Silverstein, Daniel J Lee et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2016

    Findings indicate that PTG might not be qualitatively or quantitatively distinct from growth due to NTSEs, and TEs and NTSEs elicit similar levels of PTG. Limitations include cross-sectional design. (PsycINFO Database Record

    The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is a structured interview for assessing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnostic status and symptom severity. In the 10 years since it was developed, the CAPS has become a standard criterion measure in the field of traumatic stress and has now been used in more than 200 studies. In this paper, we first trace the history of the CAPS and provide an update on recent developments. Then we review the…

  • The development of a clinician‐administered PTSD scale

    Open AccessDudley David Blake, Frank W Weathers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Traumatic Stress1995

    Several interviews are available for assessing PTSD. These interviews vary in merit when compared on stringent psychometric and utility standards.

The CAPS‐1 is a structured interview for assessing core and associated symptoms of PTSD. It assesses the frequency and intensity of each symptom using standard prompt questions and e…
