Description of Theory & Relevance to Problem and Intervention
Evidence shows that trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence based practice (EBP) and an effective treatment that significantly improves PTSD symptoms, especially abuse trauma (Cohen, Deblinger, & Mannarino, 2004; Webb, Hayes, Grasso, Laurenceau, & Deblinger, 2014; Deblinger, Lippmann, & Steer, 1996; Misurell & Springer, 2013). EBP is the integration of clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence into the decision making process for patient care (Sackett, 2005). Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, delivered in 90-min weekly sessions, 12-16-session intervention, that addresses trauma-related symptoms
