Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD
20-21 November 2024
A Live, Interactive Webinar
This intensive 2-day module provides training in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy, an evidence-based treatment for PTSD described in the manual, Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD – Therapist Guide, by Foa, et al., 2019. It covers the consistent and credible empirical and theoretical support for PE and reviews the main clinical techniques used in this structured protocol. Step-by-step instructions for conducting PE therapy sessions, including in vivo and imaginal exposure, along with strategies for working with over- and under-engaged patients and other difficult cases are shared. Recorded examples of PE cases are used to demonstrate therapist skills. Participants are expected to do role-plays in class to practice PE techniques, and they must attend both days (Acierno et al., 2017; Benuto et al., 2020; Foa et al., 2019; Kline et al., 2020; Schnurr et al., 2022).
