Synopsis:

This acclaimed volume brings together leading clinical scientists to offer best-practice guidelines for the treatment of PTSD. Developed under the auspices of the PTSD Treatment Guidelines Task Force of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the book evaluates the efficacy of established and emerging approaches for intervening with adults, adolescents, and children. Paired chapters on each approach thoroughly review the scientific literature; evaluate the strength of the research evidence, including standardized ratings; provide detailed descriptions of therapeutic methods and procedures; and discuss special considerations in treatment.
