Reviews

"...a user-friendly guide to [prolonged exposure] written by three experts in the field of exposure therapy to help bridge the gap between research and practice...written in straightforward, jargon-free language...The well-organized, detailed structure of the therapy makes the goals of each session and the means for accomplishing these goals very apparent and easy to follow. Sample scripts are offered for each session so that therapists new and perhaps
resistant to PE can see examples of what they might say to clients. ..an important addition to the field of PTSD treatment."--PsycCritiques
