Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This comprehensive volume offers concise, evidence-based guidance on providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for patients experiencing PTSD. It analyzes common challenges practitioners face and proposes solutions that they can offer to enhance patient outcomes. As a step-by-step guide for implementing principles of CBT for PTSD, including in vivo exposure, imaginal exposure, behavioral activation, and processing trauma-related cognitions, it further explores broad ways of supporting patients with trauma in their healing journey, including working with survivors of intimate partner violence, navigating the legal context of surviving a trauma, and eliciting support from concerned others. This is complemented by support suggestions for clinicians as they learn to implement CBT, from supervision to the prioritization of the therapist’s well-being. This volume is a must-read for clinical psychologists, mental health professionals, and students who want to apply the science of CBT to PTSD and ensure the delivery of successful treatment to PTSD patients.
