About this course
Over the past 30 years, multiple evidence-based psychosocial and pharmacological treatments have been developed for the treatment of Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Several national and international treatment guidelines have also been created to assist health providers and clients with the selection and utilization of the best evidence-based treatments for PTSD. This online CE course will present an overview of the three-phase model of trauma recovery and PTSD treatment. Treatment options for various reactions to trauma including acute stress reactions, acute stress disorder, and acute and chronic PTSD will be discussed and an in-depth review of the most widely used evidence-based psychosocial treatment models for veterans and other adult survivors with PTSD is presented (e.g., Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Stress Inoculation Training, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Pharmacological and alternative/complementary treatment options for PTSD will also be addressed, along with common clinical issues associated with the treatment, such as vicarious traumatization and self-care issues among treatment providers.
