Under DSM-IV-TR criteria, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder requires that the traumatic event be persistently reexperienced in one or more ways, including recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections (including images, thoughts, or perceptions), or recurrent distressing dreams of the event. In young children, this reexperiencing may manifest as repetitive play expressing themes or aspects of the trauma, or frightening dreams without recognizable content.
