Complex-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

This is not directly related to systems and being a system, but many systems may have C-PTSD

Though not yet recognized in the DSM-5 except as PTSD with dissociative features, C-PTSD is a variation of PTSD that emphasizes difficulties with emotional regulation, dissociation, distorted self perception, distorted perception of and preoccupation with one’s perpetrator, disturbed relations with others, and a disturbance or loss of meaning. C-PTSD results from intense and chronic trauma such as captivity, prostitution, human trafficking, domestic violence, or child abuse
