Abstract

Although there are effective psychotherapies available for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), brief treatments for PTSD are needed to expand the reach of treatment. Written exposure therapy (WET) is a brief treatment that has the potential to fill an important need in PTSD treatment and has a rapidly expanding evidence base to support its use. In this paper we provide information on how WET was developed, and we present proposed underlying mechanisms of the treatment and evidence supporting the underlying mechanism. The current evidence supporting WET for the treatment of PTSD is reviewed. The evidence indicates that WET is an efficacious and effective treatment approach for PTSD and is noninferior to more time-intensive evidence-based treatments for PTSD. The paper concludes with suggestions for expanding the evidence base of WET that is necessary for it to be considered a first-line treatment approach across clinical practice guidelines.

科学现状:治疗创伤后应激障碍的书面暴露疗法
尽管创伤后应激障碍已有有效的心理疗法,但仍需要针对创伤后应激障碍的简短疗法来扩大治疗范围。书面暴露疗法(WET)是一种简短的治疗方法,它有可能满足创伤后应激障碍研究的一个重要需求,而且支持其使用的证据基础正在迅速扩大。在本文中,我们介绍了 WET 的开发过程,并提出了该疗法的潜在机制和支持该潜在机制的证据。本文回顾了目前支持 WET 治疗创伤后应激障碍的证据。证据表明,WET 是一种有效的创伤后应激障碍治疗方法,其疗效不亚于时间更长的创伤后应激障碍循证治疗。本文最后提出了扩大 WET 证据基础的建议,这对于将 WET 视为临床实践指南中的一线治疗方法十分必要。

期刊介绍: Behavior Therapy is a quarterly international journal devoted to the application of the behavioral and cognitive sciences to the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of psychopathology and related clinical problems. It is intended for mental health professionals and students from all related disciplines who wish to remain current in these areas and provides a vehicle for scientist-practitioners and clinical scientists to report the results of their original empirical research. Although the major emphasis is placed upon empirical research, methodological and theoretical papers as well as evaluative reviews of the literature will also be published. Controlled single-case designs and clinical replication series are welcome.
