What's the Buzz? New Developments in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD Author(s):

Sheila Rauch, PhD, ABPP

Description

Prolonged Exposure (PE) is a well-researched and highly effective treatment for PTSD. Despite its proven effectiveness and use for over 25 years, many providers are not aware of its utility or hold erroneous beliefs about who may benefit from PE.

This online course reviews key findings in the past 15 years of clinically relevant research on PE and PTSD treatment. The author discusses groundbreaking research on PE to highlight its efficacy with patients who have PTSD and co-occurring conditions. Research evidence supporting different modalities of treatment and additional benefits for patients beyond PTSD symptom reduction is described.

Goals and Objectives

  • Describe recent updates in effectiveness and efficacy research on PE for PTSD
  • Describe the current evidence base for potential harms and benefits of PE for PTSD
  • Identify core treatment strategies of PE for PTSD
