One posture\u2019s nosology focuses on the post-traumatic stress responses; the other focuses on the deviant behaviors that ensue from pathogenic care in early childhood. This author sought to review the literature from a holistic perspective, embracing both diagnostic positions. Seventy-three articles addressing childhood trauma and the ensuing emotional or behavioral disturbances were evaluated, mostly empirical\u2014including 16 that specified posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 21 that specified attachment disorders, and 37 that included potential overlaps between both trauma derivatives. An additional 138 studies were reviewed but not included herein because those focused on broader issues. Statistical data, financial and emotional impacts, and the effects of disrupted attachments were addressed\u2014including both children with secure attachments and those with compromised attachments. The critical effect of both positive and negative parental responses was evaluated, as well as correlations or overlaps in the diagnostic criteria and symptom manifestations of the children and any apparent gaps in the current research. The literature details that the prognosis and course of treatment vary significantly between the two etiologies\u2014apparently at least in part due to possible clinician bias in conceptualizations of the two populations. There are clear overlaps in the diagnostic criteria that strongly suggest comorbidity between the disorders, however, which is especially critical to analyze in the future, since there are solid, empirical, evidence-based treatment protocols for PTSD, but not for attachment disorders resulting from pathogenic caregiver maltreatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838017742386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,23]],"date-time":"2017-11-23T22:19:49Z","timestamp":1511475589000},"page":"83-96","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Obscure Dichotomy of Early Childhood Trauma in PTSD Versus Attachment Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Christy","family":"Owen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA, USA"},{"name":"Respite Retreat, Blairsville, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838017742386","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10567-015-0193-7"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838017742386","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838010386974"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838017742386","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
