Description

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT: Resick, Monson, & Chard, 2017) is one of the front-line recommended therapies for PTSD recommended in multiple treatment guidelines globally. CPT is a short-term, trauma-focused therapy that is comprised predominantly of cognitive interventions. CPT has four primary phases, including: 1) Providing psychoeducation about PTSD from a cognitive perspective; 2) engaging in cognitive-behavioral self-monitoring; 3) implementing cognitive interventions that target trauma appraisals; and 4) addressing overgeneralized beliefs stemming from traumatic experience.

In this presentation, participants will have the opportunity to explore various aspects of CPT and the data that supports its effectiveness. The theoretical foundations that inform personalized case conceptualization for individuals with a range of multiple traumas and diagnoses will be presented. A demonstration of Socratic dialogue using video-recorded materials from a real case will be shown, and major updates included in the new edition of the manual to be released April 2024 will be reviewed. Innovations in the delivery of CPT, including intense dosing, personalized length, MDMA-and psilocybin-assisted CPT, and delivery to individuals with comorbid PTSD-BPD will be described for discussion.
