Three kinds of psychotherapy have been shown to be effective in the treatment of PTSD: exposure therapy, anxiety management and cognitive therapy. Though they have all been carefully researched, it is impossible to predict which of these treatments, alone or in combination, will be most helpful for any given individual. The wise therapist will offer all three, and emphasize the one(s) that prove most helpful for each patient.

Mental health professionals - Drs. Foa and Riggs are providing their 2001 training manual, Brief Recovery Program (BRP) for Trauma Survivors, to support your work with trauma victims.
