tAcute stress disorder (ASD) was introduced into the DSM-IV to recognize early traumatic responses and asa precursor of PTSD. Although the diagnostic criteria for ASD were altered and structured more similarly tothe PTSD definition in DSM-5, only the PTSD diagnosis includes a dissociative subtype. Emerging researchhas indicated that there also appears to be a highly symptomatic subtype for ASD. However, the specificnature of the subtype is currently unclear. The present study investigates the possible presence of ASDsubtypes in a mixed sample of victims meeting caseness for DSM-5 ASD based on self-report followingfour different types of traumatic exposure (N = 472). The results of latent profile analysis revealed a 5-classsolution. The highly symptomatic class was marked by high endorsement on avoidance and dissociationcompared to the other classes. Findings are discussed in regard to its clinical implications including theimplications for the pending the ICD-11 and the recently released DSM-5.
