Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce participants to cognitive processing therapy (CPT) protocols for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The workshop begins with a functional description of why some people do not recover from trauma and why comorbid symptoms develop along with their PTSD. Cognitive and biological theories will be introduced to describe why cognitive therapy reduces PTSD symptoms. Participants will learn first about the standard 12-session therapy, session by session along with a variable-length version of the protocol. CPT is a very systematic approach to treating PTSD in which participants learn to think about their traumatic events differently and learn the skill of more balanced thinking generally. This workshop includes videotaped examples of the therapy.
Objectives
Participants will be able to describe a functional model of PTSD.
Participants will demonstrate the difference between assimilation, accommodation and over-accommodation.
Participants will be able to identify the stuck points of clients with PTSD.
Participants will be provided an overview of CPT and the progression through the worksheets for patients to build skills to examine and change their dysfunctional thoughts about their traumatic events.
Socratic questioning with PTSD will be demonstrated
