The present study compared the severity of posttraumatic symptomatology and the differential expression of the PTSD symptom clusters with six child and trauma-related variables. The independent variables were gender, age at time of trauma, acute versus repeated traumas, injured versus not injured, witnessed versus experienced, and threat to caregiver versus no threat to caregiver. The dependent variables were presence of the diagnosis of PTSD, the overall symptom severity score, and four PTSD diagnostic cluster scores. Forty-one traumatized subjects under 48 months of age were studied. The diagnosis of PTSD was present more often when traumas involved threats to the caregivers. When traumas involved threats to the caregivers, the subjects expressed fewer numbing symptoms, more hyperarousal symptoms, and more new fears and aggression. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed, including the need for increased awareness that very young children can be affected severely when involved in situations that threaten their caregivers. Cette étude a comparé la sévérité de la symptomatologie posttraumatique et de l'expression difftrentielle des groupes à symptǒme PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder en anglais) avec des variables dans les charactéristiques de l'enfant et du trauma. Les variables indépendantes consistaient en le sexe, 1'ǎge au moment du trauma, les traumas sévèAres contre les traumas répétés, blessés contre non blessés, vus contre expérimentés, et la menace à l'encontre du mode de soin contre pas de menace à l'encontre du mode de soin. Les variables dépendantes étaient la présence du diagnostic de PTSD, le score de sévérité du symptǒme, et les scores de groupe. Quarante-et-un sujets de moins de 48 mois ont été étudiés. Lorsque le trauma impliquait des menaces à l'encontre des modes de soin les sujets exprimaient moins de symptǒmes d'engourdissement, plus de symptǒmes &excitation, plus de nouvelles peurs et d'agressions et les enfants avaient plus tendance à ěre diagnostiqués comme atteints de PTSD. Les implications pour la pratique clinique et la recherche seront discutées.
