Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PTSD can be diagnosed in individuals who have not directly experienced the trauma but have been exposed to it in other ways, such as learning that a close family member or friend was exposed to trauma, or experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic events (e.g., first responders collecting human remains, police officers repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). This means that direct experience of the trauma is not a necessary criterion for a PTSD diagnosis.
