Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD, cPTSD, or hyphenated C-PTSD) is a stress-related mental and behavioral disorder generally occurring in response to complex traumas [1] (i.e., commonly prolonged or repetitive exposures to a series of traumatic events, from which one sees little or no chance to escape).
The general understanding that suffering and distress can potentially yield positive change is thousands of years old. [1] For example, some of the early ideas and writing of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and early Christians, as well as some of the teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam [4] and the BaháΚΌí Faith [5] contain elements of the potentially transformative power of suffering.
Moreover, the dog can be an extremely useful companion in any controlled training concerning cognitive functions, such as walking the dog. [5] [4] Many psychiatric assistance dogs are trained by the person who will become the handler—usually with the help of a professional trainer. Others are trained by assistance or service dog programs.
