"When we listen to the news or go online, we often hear or read about trauma and traumatic events rocking our world. Some of these events have ripple effects beyond those directly affected, and many events go undocumented, unreported, and often unsaid. Trauma can happen to anyone at almost any time. More than 2 million people are injured and over 30,000 are killed in car crashes in the US every year. One in 4 -5 women will be a victim of sexual assault in her lifetime. 2018 saw multiple natural disasters in the US. The #metoo movement is highlighting how common are sexual harassment and assault, and this movement is encouraging support for survivors."--

Prolonged Exposure therapy is an effective, highly flexible, and very well-researched intervention to reduce the symptoms of PTSD across a variety of traumatized populations. The manual and companion patient workbook provide all the specifics of the PE protocol for providers to implement with efficacy and fidelity in order to maximize patient response. With the second edition, the authors have revised throughout to reflect the many advances in PTSD research that have occurred since the first edition. These advances include key modifications to the underlying theory, as well as additional evidence of modifications and individualization for more complex patient presentations and to military populations. As leaders in the clinical practice, training, and research in the field of PTSD treatment, the authors provide concise but thorough description of the key components of the program, how to implement them, as well as when and how to consider adaptations.
