Evidence-Based Treatment Planning for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder DVD

Improve the Quality of Mental Health Care

This DVD helps address the challenges many practitioners face in assimilating results from psychotherapy research into their treatment plans. It offers step-by-step guidance on how to create an evidence-based psychotherapy treatment plan for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a viewer-friendly manner, Drs.

A sample evidence-based treatment plan for PTSD is provided. The companion workbook contains an optional 10-question test that can be submitted for Continuing Education Credit.
