Synopsis: This compact, clinician-friendly resource walks readers through cognitive–behavioral techniques and treatment packages for clients with PTSD, using case studies to illustrate how to troubleshoot common problems. Research over the past three decades has confirmed that cognitive–behavioral therapies (CBTs) are among the most effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This book introduces clinicians to cognitive–behavioral techniques for PTSD and guides them in adopting treatment protocols. Because myths about CBT for PTSD have been barriers to use, the book offers a clear view of the facts about the evidence-based therapies that offer such promise in helping clients to heal from their traumas. The goal of this clinician-friendly book is clear: to make CBT available to suffering clients.
