title: Recent trauma in psychiatric outpatients.
abstract: Psychiatric clinic outpatients were screened for recent traumatic events, and post-traumatic symptomatology was evaluated in those reporting occurrence of one or more events within the two years prior to screening. Clear symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder were revealed in 18% of the reporting patients, and the distribution of diagnoses was found to be different in the trauma-reporting group than it was in a comparison diagnostic group.
