Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD. A Therapist's Guide

The book is a practical guide to the application of Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The authors reveal the theoretical foundations of WET, the history of the method, and approaches to working with trauma. Special attention is given to the ethical aspects of therapy, professional standards, diagnostics, and preparation for working with patients. The author's approach includes a step-by-step therapy protocol: from the first sessions to in-depth processing of traumatic experiences. Issues of adapting WET for various cultural and age groups and conducting therapy remotely are addressed. The book contains examples from clinical practice and describes working with complex cases. Additional techniques to enhance the effectiveness of therapy are also discussed, along with recommendations for long-term patient support. This structured guide, based on scientific data and years of experience in applying WET, will be a valuable resource for psychotherapists.
