Alterations in negative beliefs were examined from pre- to post- intervention. Women on average were 33.7 years old (SD= 11.14) and were from variety of backgrounds. Participants were randomized into one of three, four week interventions: B-CBT, n=31; AC, n= 30; SC, n= 29. All sessions were around 2 hours long provided by Master’s or PhD therapists.

PE is specifically designed to help clients process traumatic events and reduce trauma-induced psychological disturbances, making it one of the most effective interventions for individuals experiencing rape-related PTSD (Penn Behavioral Health, 2017). While the PE treatment program is structured, it can be modified in order to best assist an array of individuals. The most important aspect of the PE treatment program is building a strong foundation with the client that is based on a strong therapeutic relationship and clear, compelling rationale for treatment (Foa, 2007).…

    Many practitioners still believe that a patient must reach sobriety prior to addressing trauma issues, however, when looking at the reality of the circular correlations between PTSD symptoms and substance abuse one might ask "Who would choose to give up something that eases chronic emotional and physical pain, and then engage in therapy that stimulates that pain, without recourse to relief via self-medication?" (Miller, 2002, p. 158). Therefore, Miller (2002) believes it to be ineffectual and a disservice to the patient to focus on substance abuse without addressing the impact of trauma symptoms (Weis, 2010). Unfortunately, there are still differing theoretical approaches in place, many of which still address substance use as the primary disorder…

    Causes of this disorder, but not limited to, are: serious road accidents, prolonged sexual abuse, natural disasters, violent personal assaults, and most commonly, military combat. Experiencing these events does not mandate the development of PTSD; people who have previous experiences of depression, anxiety, or neglect are more susceptible to develop this condition(NHS, 2015). An estimated 7.8 percent of Americans will experience PTSD at least once in their lives; the majority of these will be women, as 10.4 percent of women are likely to have it, which is twice as much as the men’s estimate of 5 percent (NDVA, 2007). This evidence shows women are more vulnerable to having or developing PTSD because they are more frequently sexually abused and assaulted. According to the National Sexual Assault Hotline, 82 percent of juvenile rapes and 90 percent of adult rapes are female, a total of 17.7 million women; meanwhile, 2.78 million men have experienced an attempted or completed rape.…

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), also known as shell shock or battle fatigue, is a mental health issue that could develop after experiencing a life changing moment in a person’s life. Most researchers theorize that the people who have PTSD have either fought in war, been a victim of rape, or have endured a life changing experience. In the United States, 70 percent of adults, approximately 223.4 million people, have experience at least one traumatic moment in their lives. One out of nine women in the world develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is twice as likely as men (PTSD Statistics). 7.7 million Americans have PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Anxiety and Depression Association of America).…

    Human nature and abnormal behavior are defined very differently by the several counseling theories. One could say that two of the most contradictory theories are: Psychodynamic (PD) versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Both of them attempt to relieve clients of emotional distress, however, the underlying reasons of why the distress occurs, and how the counselor helps the client relieve it, differs highly between the two theories. One of the first and most revolutionary theories in the history of psychology was the Psychodynamic theory. Even though it was originally funded by Freud, many of his students and followers imparted their own theories (e.g Jung, Erikson.)…

    Within a cognitive behavioral framework, emotions are viewed as a consequence of cognitive change, where the etiological significance of emotions has largely been lowered to a secondary status (Courbasson, Nishikawa & Shapira, 2011). Cognitive behavior therapy has the distinct advantage of helping clients to develop coping skills deemed useful for the present and future. As such, substance abuse clients through cognitive behavioral therapy can practice new coping skills taught and rehearse ways for avoiding or dealing with social situations that could potentially initiate a relapse. Criticism of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy has been criticized for downplaying emotions, failure to focus on the role of the unconscious…
