Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD: Therapist Guide: Emotional processing of traumatic experiences
Abstract
Abstract This online therapist guide gives clinicians the information they need to treat clients who exhibit the symptoms of PTSD. It is based on the principles of Prolonged Exposure Therapy, the most scientifically-tested and proven treatment that has been used to effectively treat victims of all types of trauma. Clients are exposed to imagery of their traumatic memories, as well as real-life situations related to the traumatic event in a step-by-step, controllable way, and through this, will learn to confront the trauma and begin to think differently about it, leading to a marked decrease in levels of anxiety and other PTSD symptoms. Clients are provided education about PTSD and other common reactions to traumatic events. Breathing retraining is taught as a method for helping the client manage anxiety in daily life. Designed to be used in conjunction with the corresponding online client workbook, this therapist guide includes all the tools necessary to effectively implement the prolonged exposure program including assessment measures, session outlines, case studies, sample dialogues, and homework assignments.

“Further, the UP contains modules that parallel core elements utilized in frontline treatments for PTSD. That is, the UP modules on cognitive appraisal/reappraisal and exposure take a similar approach to symptom reduction as CPT and prolonged exposure [PE; [49]], respectively.”
From Emergence of Transdiagnostic Treatments for PTSD and Posttraumatic Distress (2016) · cites this paper as [49]
In the citing paper
“Lack of observed distress reduction may also be a byproduct of the therapeutic protocol. Across sessions of imaginal exposure, there is consistent shifting of focus toward the most traumatic aspects or “hot spots” of the trauma memory (Foa, Hembree, & Rothbaum, 2007).”
From Does change in distress matter? Mechanisms of change in prolonged exposure for PTSD (2014) · cites this paper as Foa, Hembree, & Rothbaum, 2007
In the citing paper
“Exposure therapy protocols almost always involve an explicit focus on decreasing avoidance, both in their rationale and implementation (Andrews et al., 2003; Foa, Hembree, & Rothbaum, 2007; Foa, Yadin, & Lichner, 2012), despite avoidance not being included in their underlying theories.”
From Relapse of anxiety-related fear and avoidance: Conceptual analysis of treatment with acceptance and commitment therapy (2020) · cites this paper as Foa, Hembree, & Rothbaum, 2007
In the citing paper
“the immediate and extensive processing of traumatic events in the absence of teaching skills to manage these behaviors is contraindicated for these clients (Foa, Hembree, & Rothbaum, 2007;Linehan, 1993a)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
