About the Guide
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects 3.6% of the global population and is associated with psychiatric comorbidity in 75% of cases. Despite its major impact on quality of life and social functioning, it remains frequently underdiagnosed and inadequately treated.
This clinical guide, written by Dr. Marie-Louise and based on the latest evidence-based data (DSM-5, meta-analyses, systematic reviews), provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive and structured protocol: from initial assessment using validated scales (PCL-5, CAPS-5) to advanced therapeutic techniques, including the cognitive-behavioral model of PTSD, prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and EMDR therapy.
A dedicated chapter on pharmacological treatment (SSRIs, prazosin, augmentation strategies), along with a complete set of ready-to-use practical tools (clinical scales, session worksheets, therapeutic protocols), makes this guide a valuable clinical companion for experienced psychiatrists, general practitioners, and psychologists wishing to deepen their trauma-focused clinical practice.
