✦ Synopsis

Data regarding the development of a strucmred interview measuring alterations that may accompany extreme stress are presented. A list of 27 criteria often seen in response to extreme trauma and not addressed by DSM-IV criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were generated based on a systematic review of the literature and a survey of 50 erperts. A structured interview for disorders of atreme stress (SIDES) measuring the presence of these criteria was administered to 520 subjects as part of the DSM-N PTSD field trials. Inter-rater reliability as measured by Kizppa coefficients for lifetime Disorders of Extreme Stress was .8I. Internal consistency using coefficient alpha ranged from .53 to .96. Results indicate that the SIDES is a useful tool for investigation of response to ertremes stress.
