Sažetak
The fact that PTSD is included in DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 with clearly defined diagnostic criteria may lull us easily into false perception thateverything is clear woth PTSD as a specific psychopathological and diagnostic entitiy. Reading the literature wer are confronted with three issues, one explicit, about the "facts", and the other implicit, about the "false facts" or "pseudofacts" and the third episteomological about the "metafacts" of PTSD. That is why in this issueof Psychiatria Danubina we tried tzo cover some relevant aspects of PTSD from genetic markers to multiperspective models with hope that it would be useful to a broad range of readers.
