I recently came across an article on-line by a Harvard Psychology professor, detailing a new classification of PTSD. Her paper details "complex PTSD" and references a spectrum of issues suffered by people that do not fit the classical definition of PTSD. Cops, Soldiers, victims of extreme violence are considered candidates for PTSD, but no definition previously identified the suffering experienced by individuals as a result of cults, involuntary incarceration, ritual abuse etc.
