Abstract As a consequence of a variety of violence, war, natural or man-made disasters and global migration movements, the need for treatment of trauma sequelae in culturally diverse populations arises. Cultural dimensions have long been ignored or treated inadequately in PTSD-based trauma research. Although epidemiological data support some arguments of its universal prevalence, the PTSD concept is itself not free of cultural bias and a fundamental theoretical exception within the descriptive DSM-classification. Unresolved problems of its diagnosis and etiopathology and controversies are described. PTSD seems to be a complex, partly culture-bound syndrome that should not be neuropsychologically oversimplified.
Key words Posttraumatic stress Disorder, PTSD, controversies, etiology, culture boundedness, culture bound syndrome
