<p>Effective Psychological Treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Prolonged Exposure Therapy<br>Elizabeth Abou, BA &amp; Gali Goldwaser, PhD<br>Naval Center for Combat &amp; Operational Stress Control<br><br>What is Prolonged Exposure Therapy?<br>Prolonged exposure (PE) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrated to be highly effective in treating PTSD and other combat or operational stress injuries. PE is also helpful for treating common conditions associated with PTSD, such as mood and substance use disorders. There has been approximately 20 years of empirical research to support PE. Based on a recent meta-analysis, the average PE-treated patient fared better than 86% of patients in control conditions at post-treatment on PTSD measures.
