Posttraumatic Relationship Syndrome

A treatment protocol for a newly proposed diagnosis called Posttraumatic Relationship Syndrome (PTRS) is outlined. As one of the most salient ways in which PTRS differs from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is that the former lacks the numbing of affect that the latter includes, treatment accordingly differs. Four stages of treatment are described, namely: (1) Understanding, normalization, and desensitization (which focuses on coping with the initial traumatized state); (2) Reflection and acceptance (which focuses on processing the trauma); (3) Integration of the trauma into the self-concept; and (4) Empowerment and growth. The treatment approach emphasizes that traumatic relationships can not only be survived, but post traumatic growth can, and indeed, often does occur
