Cognitive Processing Therapy:
Two-day Training for Treating PTSD
Led by Patricia A. Resick, Ph.D.
March 25 and 26, 2010
One of the most effective evidence-based treatments for PTSD is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is predominantly a cognitive therapy that can be implemented with or without a smaller exposure component than imaginal exposure therapy and is therefore more acceptable to many clients and practitioners seeking alternatives to purely exposure-focused treatments. It also directly targets associated problems such as depression, guilt, and anger.
This two-day professional training in Cognitive Processing Therapy is sponsored by the New York State Office of Mental Health and will be led by the developer of CPT, Patricia A. Resick, Ph.D. Dr. Resick is the Director of the Women’s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD at the VA Boston Healthcare System, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at Boston University, and the 2009 President of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.
Attendance at this training will prepare practitioners to implement CPT with trauma survivors. It will also provide attendees with practical and useful materials and resources including supplemental materials on using CPT with survivors of specific types of trauma, such as those who experienced combat, sexual assault, or the suicide of a loved one.
