An Introduction to Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD currently available. However, given the vast research literature supporting PE, providers are still difficult to find and reluctance to deliver an exposure based treatment for trauma survivors persists. This webinar provides a brief review of the research supporting PE, discusses how to decide who is a good candidate for PE, and what a typical course of PE would involve.
