"PTSD treatment needs structure, clarity, and evidence-based approaches to foster meaningful recovery for affected individuals."
The article emphasizes that effective PTSD recovery goes beyond emotional support and requires evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for lasting improvement. It calls attention to the dangers of non-research-backed therapies, which can lead to clients remaining stuck in their symptoms, dropping out of therapy, or experiencing discouragement. The recent American Psychological Association guidelines highlight trauma-focused therapies, particularly cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE), as essential tools in structured treatment designed to promote recovery and confront trauma's impact effectively.
