This course provides a general overview of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder—conceptualization, incidence, symptoms, risk factors, and treatment. Particular attention is given to PTSD resulting from rape, combat (including war zone stress, veterans returning home, and women in combat), and natural disasters. This presentation also includes information on assessing and treating children experiencing PTSD. Additionally, the concept of vicarious traumatization will be reviewed, including the potential impact on treatment and self-care techniques that therapists can employ to help mitigate the effects on both their personal and professional lives when working with clients diagnosed with PTSD.
