摘要：

The ability to copy figures was evaluated in 41 subjects with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 27 trauma-exposed. non-PTSD comparison subjects. Individuals with PTSD demonstrated significantly impaired performance. However, after adjusting for pre-trauma variables. there was only a marginally significant association between figure-copying performance and PTSD. These findings are consistent with pre-trauma visual-spatial impairment as being among the risk factors for chronic PTSD. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
