The present study was designed to determine if responses to the presentation of mild combat stimuli would distinguish the following three carefully matched groups of veterans: (a) those with an exclusive diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), (b) inpatients on a psychiatry ward who clearly do not have PTSD, and (c) Vietnam veterans with combat experience who are currently well adjusted. Behavioural, physiological, and self-report measures of anxiety obtained through this laboratory-based assessment clearly distinguishes the PTSD veterans from the remaining two critical comparison groups. The utility of this tripartite assessment approach for the reliable identification of PTSD secondary to combat is discussed. Future research directions are presented
