Welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News! We like to use this space to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events. Happy New Year to everyone! Along with the new year comes brand new training opportunities to talk about.
The weekly Research Update contains the latest news, journal articles, useful links from around the web. Some of this week's topics include:
● After a Trauma: Take Time to Heal, PTSD Monthly Update - December 2019
● An Examination of Stalking Experiences During Military Service Among Female and Male Veterans and Associations With PTSD and Depression.
● Risk and protective factors associated with comorbid PTSD and depression in U.S. military veterans: Results from the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study.
I recently had the privilege and pleasure to speak with Dr. Edna Foa, the Senior author and creator of Prolonged Exposure therapy, and to correspond with Dr. Sheila Rauch the newest member of the team, about the updated Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD manual. I learned all about the new manual as well as some savory bits about relaxed breathing, imaginal exposure processing, and the future of PE treatment.
