This paper includes a study of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the way it is experienced by Arabs. A mixed methods design was used to answer research questions about the types of trauma experienced by Arabs; symptoms experienced by Arabs as a result of trauma; using Western standards to diagnose Arabs with PTSD; and the possibility of culturally specific PTSD symptoms. Results showed that participants had experienced war related trauma and endorsed symptoms including fear, stress, worry, anger, shock, disconnectedness, sadness, isolation from community, sleep/appetite disturbance, financial struggles, acculturation struggles, and life dissatisfaction. However, only 6 of the 23 participants met criteria for PTSD diagnosis based on Western standards. Implications related to cultural psychology, international psychology, and the study of PTSD among Arabs are discussed.
