Two-day Professional Training in Cognitive Processing Therapy
March 25 and 26 at SUNY New Paltz. Sponsored by the New York State Office of Mental Health and will be offered by the Institute for Disaster Mental Health at SUNY New Paltz. Led by Patricia A. Resick, Ph.D. Between disasters, interpersonal violence, and combat experiences, traumatic events are common in modern life. Fortunately most people recover on their own or with help from family and friends, but some develop posttraumatic stress disorder. Left untreated, PTSD can drastically impair the quality of life for sufferers and their loved ones, and can result in substance abuse or suicide. One of the most effective evidence-based treatments for PTSD is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a 12-session cognitive behavioral treatment. 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. Originally developed for rape and sexual assault, CPT has been successfully applied to veterans, refugees, and survivors of other traumas.
