Some researchers consider emotional numbing a cardinal feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Others view numbing symptoms as representing an overlap between PTSD, depression, and dissociation. In this study, we examined the ability of early emotional numbing, depression, and dissociation symptoms to predict PTSD. One-hundred sixty-one women who were recent victims of sexual or nonsexual assault were assessed prospectively for 12 weeks. Emotional numbing, depression, and dissociation were each associated with initial PTSD severity. Notably, regression analyses revealed that after depression and dissociation were accounted for, early numbing contributed to the prediction of later PTSD.
一些研究人员认为情绪麻木是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的一个主要特征。另一些人则认为麻木症状代表了PTSD、抑郁症和解离症之间的重叠。在本研究中，我们考察了早期情绪麻木、抑郁和解离症状预测PTSD的能力。对161名近期遭受性侵犯或非性侵犯的女性进行了为期12周的前瞻性评估。情绪麻木、抑郁和解离均与初始PTSD严重程度相关。值得注意的是，回归分析显示，在考虑了抑郁和解离因素后，早期麻木对后期PTSD具有预测作用。
