Are behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies sufficiently broad in their
effects on trauma-related psychopathology and related factors? This volume
considers many of the complexities in treating PTSD, and emphasizes evi-
dence-based approaches to treatment.

A useful resource for clinicians, trainees, and investigators doing research
into the treatment of PTSD.
