Cognitive-behavioral therapy for PTSD

de Claudia Zayfert, Carolyn Black Becker

"Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet many clinicians wonder whether CBT is appropriate for the traumatized patients they see in real-world clinical practice, who often present with a complicated array of symptoms and problems. This highly practical manual provides step-by-step information on applying CBT in a flexible manner to address the varying needs of individuals with PTSD. Written by experienced therapists who know what works, the book shows what the process of therapy looks like and offers a wealth of troubleshooting suggestions and clinical tools."--BOOK JACKET.
