Sometimes I get the question of,
"What's the best way to treat PTSD?"
And my experience is the best treatment for PTSD
is individual Prolonged Exposure.
There are other options -- individual CPT
has also been shown to be really effective --
but sometimes people have questions about group therapies
for PTSD, and my experience is that group therapies
can help with a lot of things.
A group can help patients feel connected to others,
can help educate, they can help people understand
that there are others out there with the same
kind of problems that they have.
But our experience is that group therapies,
as they've been tested, really haven't been shown to be as
effective against posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms
as individual therapies.
And so the evidence or the sort of scientific testing
that has been done has shown that
the best, most effective, powerful treatments
for PTSD are individual therapies.
