Mixed messages about PTSD treatment programs
While the effects of trauma are everywhere, what to do about it seems to as elusive as it ever was. From the veterans in the US complaining about prolonged exposure, to women complaining that they’re in psychotherapy forever, many corners of society promise that their approach works.
Unfortunately, the nature of randomized, clinical controlled trials doesn’t lend itself easily to using very many different treatments because it’s too expensive and time-consuming. We haven’t had a way to assess patient’s most immediate intervention needs, which takes into account the childhood adverse experiences, adult traumas, genetics, medical conditions that limit their progress, attitudinal strengths and weaknesses, and emotional regulation-until now.
