DIAGNOSIS: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

TREATMENT: Cognitive Processing Group Therapy For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

BRIEF SUMMARY

  • Basic premise: Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a trauma-focused and evidence-based cognitive therapy for people who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT focuses on the question of why the trauma occurred as well as on the effects of the trauma on the clients' beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. This treatment starts from the premise that changing the content of cognitions about a trauma will impact behavioral and emotional responses to the trauma.
