Abstract:
During the first part of the lecture the author will discuss the diagnosis and clinical picture of PTSD. She will then briefly present emotional processing theory to help understand why some traumatized individuals recover and others develop chronic PTSD and how we can conceptualize Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy within this theory. Next, she will provide an overview of the efficacy of different cognitive behavioral programs that have been found helpful in ameliorating PTSD symptoms, with emphasize on PE, illustrating the treatment via video clips of patients.
