Note. RCS = Restructured Clinical Scale; CS = Clinical Scale; PK = Keane PTSD; PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder; Dx = diagnosis; Sx = symptoms; B Sx = PTSD reexperiencing symptoms; C Sx = PTSD avoidance and numbing symptoms; D Sx = PTSD hyperarousal symptoms; D = demoralization. PTSD total and symptom cluster severity scores are sums of the PTSD items on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R. All correlations were significant at the p < .001 level.
