Psychosocial Treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Established and Emerging Approaches
This is a live interactive webinar presentation.
This presentation will review existing psychosocial interventions for PTSD, with the goal of 1) distinguishing between those treatments that have a large vs. limited degree of evidence for their efficacy (Admundson et al., 2019; McLean et al., 2022); 2) identifying shared objectives, techniques, and mechanisms of treatment that exist across a number of efficacious/effective psychosocial treatments for PTSD; 3) evaluating the relative efficacy/effectiveness of psychosocial treatments for PTSD in different traumatized populations (e.g., civilian vs. veterans; Steenkamp et al., 2015); and 4) evaluating existing evidence on the addition of hallucinogens (e.g., MDMA) to psychosocial treatments of PTSD (e.g., Mitchell et al;. 2021).
Participation in this program will enable you to:
- Differentiate between psychosocial treatments for PTSD that have a large vs. limited degree of evidence for their efficacy/effectiveness.
- Identify shared objectives, techniques, and mechanisms of treatment that exist across a number of efficacious/effective psychosocial treatments for PTSD.
- Evaluate the relative efficacy/effectiveness of psychosocial treatments for PTSD in different traumatized populations (e.g., civilian vs. veterans).
- Evaluate existing evidence on the addition of hallucinogens (e.g., MDMA) to psychosocial treatments of PTSD.
