Taylor, John G.; Baker, Stanley B.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v85 n3 p364-369 Sum 2007
Two related studies were conducted in order to investigate whether psychosocial and moral development appeared to have been disrupted and arrested in veterans diagnosed as having posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Study 1 was devoted to developing a measure of late adolescence, early adulthood, and adulthood stages of psychosocial development. In Study 2, a sample of 32 PTSD-diagnosed and 32 PTSD-free veterans participated. The PTSD-diagnosed participants presented evidence of arrested psychosocial and moral development.
