This second edition provides readers with valuable tools and
strategies to use in their clinical practice with trauma survivors
with PTSD. Written exposure therapy (WET) is an effective,
evidence-based treatment for PTSD that is easy to implement,
affordable, and has lower dropout rates than other trauma
interventions. In Denise Sloan and Brian Marx's unique approach, the
client writes about a single traumatic event, and the therapist
focuses on the client's experiences while writing about the trauma,
rather than the event itself. This comprehensive manual provides
step-by-step instructions for conducting WET with clients who suffer
from PTSD. It contains a scripted protocol for WET, along with
detailed guidance for conducting each session. Since publication of
the first edition, the authors have modified several important aspects
of their protocol based on updated research and evidence. In this
edition, the authors describe how to deliver WET over telehealth, in a
group format, in primary care settings that typically only permit
30-minute sessions, and when using a language translator. New content
shows how providers can manage difficult situations that sometimes
arise when delivering WET, with valuable case examples that
demonstrate key principles and potential outcomes of the WET protocol.
This is an essential resource for trauma care providers, as well as
graduate students in clinical psychology, counseling, and social work.
