Complex PTSD

Mem LangMember

I have what is probably a simple question, which I have been curious about, and perhaps it therefore could be beneficial for some others.

I know this website discusses ACEs and trauma informed care, etc but not even in the tags section is there mention of complex PTSD and wondered why this is so. I had thought that this is the 'umbrella' under which much of the trauma stems from ie if you have high ACEs and low resilience scores you may 'relate' to this condition/injury. Just as one could for PTSD from non childhood trauma.

Is it a useful description, as I know the DSM 5 doesn't recognise it, though PTSD is. Is it that it's more complex than a mere label?! Labels do have their usefulness... People using the same language and semantics are important, so that others in and outside the field can quickly comprehend.

Sorry if this is worded rather clumsily.

Thoughts?
