About the Course

Cognitive-behavioral approaches to helping trauma survivors continue to evolve, with treatment methods remaining a work in progress. A number of limitations remain in the current evidence base, but despite this, the chapters in this book provide a significant argument that cognitive-behavioral approaches taken as a whole constitute a powerful form of treatment. They provide the clinician with a substantial and growing set of treatment concepts and tools, address a wide range of trauma-related problems and populations, and consider the interpersonal context of treatment. The contributors to this text are working to develop comprehensive treatment approaches based on the foundation of science. In doing so, they are providing an invaluable service to the many people who will survive a traumatic experience.

This course is based on the book, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies for Trauma created by Josef I. Ruzek (Editor) et al
