Citation needed. Pardon my being blunt, but I think you're merely recalling some Hansonisms that are not backed by actual fact.

The current (DSM-IV) diagnosis criteria of PTSD specifically require triggers that include threats to physical integrity, and events such as divorce or the ending of a romantic relationship are considered "sub-threshold"; based on this I strongly doubt that any study of the kind you refer to exists.

good call. I was under the mistaken impression that Hanson had cited actual research.
