PTSD for Adults/Veterans: Evidence-Based Psychological Treatments
Learn evidence-based PTSD treatments, including Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure. This course covers trauma recovery, pharmacological options, and care strategies for clinicians and survivors.
About this course
Over the past 30 years, multiple evidence-based psychosocial and pharmacological treatments have been developed for the treatment of Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Several national and international treatment guidelines have also been created to assist health providers and clients with the selection and utilization of the best evidence-based treatments for PTSD. This online CE course will present an overview of the three-phase model of trauma recovery and PTSD treatment. Treatment options for various reactions to trauma including acute stress reactions, acute stress disorder, and acute and chronic PTSD will be discussed and an in-depth review of the most widely used evidence-based psychosocial treatment models for veterans and other adult survivors with PTSD is presented (e.g., Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Stress Inoculation Training, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Pharmacological and alternative/complementary treatment options for PTSD will also be addressed, along with common clinical issues associated with the treatment, such as vicarious traumatization and self-care issues among treatment providers.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
