The authoritative presentation of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is now in a revised and updated second edition, with an easier-to-use format and a new chapter on conceptualizing treatment. From CPT's developers, the manual includes session-by-session implementation guidelines and extensive sample dialogues. The authors explain the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of CPT and discuss ways to work effectively with specific populations, such as combat veterans, sexual assault survivors, and culturally diverse and LGBTQIA+ clients.
Key Features
- Each session now has its own chapter, printed with shaded tabs for easy reference.
- Reflects a wealth of new treatment research, conceptual refinements, and feedback from trainings of thousands of clinicians.
- Chapter on cognitive case conceptualization.
- Discusses additional treatment variations (telehealth, intensive CPT) and client populations (first responders).
Additional Information
Shaded index tabs in the margins help clinicians quickly navigate to each session.
