The authoritative presentation of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is now in a revised and updated second edition, with an easier-to-use format and a new chapter on conceptualizing treatment. From CPT's developers, the manual includes session-by-session implementation guidelines and extensive sample dialogues. Shaded index tabs in the margins help clinicians quickly navigate to each session. The authors explain the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of CPT and discuss ways to work effectively with specific populations, such as combat veterans, sexual assault survivors, and culturally diverse and LGBTQIA+ clients. Forty-eight reproducible handouts can be photocopied from the large-size book or downloaded from the companion webpage.

Reviews for Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Therapist Manual

"""This book provides a comprehensive guide to treating the complexities of PTSD with CPT. Specific issues that arise when working with different client groups are handled with sensitivity and insight. No trauma therapist can fail to benefit from the exceptional levels of experience and wisdom to be found in the second edition of this manual.""--Chris R. Brewin PhD, Department of Clinical, Educational, and Health Psychology (Emeritus), University College London, United Kingdom ""Look no further, therapists working with clients with PTSD--the second edition of the CPT manual is the definitive resource you need. CPT is a first-line treatment for PTSD, recommended by clinical practice guidelines, the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense and more. Resick, Monson, and Chard harness their collective wisdom--accumulated through the treatment of tens of thousands of clients with PTSD--to include sample dialogues, real-world examples, and answers to common questions. A terminological change I find significant in this edition is the shift from 'challenging' to 'exploring' clients' thinking processes and habits. While this change may seem minor, it carries significant impact, fostering stronger therapist-client rapport.""--Katy Dondanville, PsyD, ABPP, Director, STRONG STAR Training Initiative, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio"
