POLL #6 - Re "Disorder" in "CPTSD

[Kizzie]

There is quite a bit of initial discussion about changing any/all of the words in CPTSD here - http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?topic=6758.0 that you may want to have a read through it before voting.

i have already seen the acronym ptss, changing the 'd' for disorder to 's' for syndrome.  i don't know how universally accepted this is but i think the powers that be (maybe the victims themselves) are already rebelling against the word 'disorder' suggesting a finality, while a 'syndrome' suggests something more ongoing, complicated, and layered. 

that sounds more amenable to both these situations, in my mind. 

[ah]

If I could I'd change it to injury, it sounds the least stigmatizing and most accurate.
