	Objectives:	Be able to utilize the DSM IV-TR criteria and distinguishing symptoms to differentiate between Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD
	Description:	PTSD is one of the very few psychiatric disorders that come under attack in almost every way: every assumption and theoretical underpinning is up for grabs. The criteria for PTSD-inducing stressors have become so broad that virtually any event can now qualify as long as someone perceived it as traumatic. In this interview, we look at some of these diagnostic issues, as described in the DSM IV TR, especially the difference between acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
