Traumatic events, including sexual abuse, experiencing or
witnessing violence, and natural disasters, are common among
adolescents. A significant number of adolescents go on to develop
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can have a severe
negative impact on well-being and functioning. These adolescents
require professional help to free themselves of PTSD symptoms and
reclaim their lives. This therapist guide presents a proven
treatment for PTSD that has been adapted for the adolescent
population. The program applies the principles of Prolonged
Exposure (PE) to help adolescents emotionally process their
traumatic experiences. A four-phase treatment, adolescents complete
each module at their own rate of progress. The pre-treatment
preparation phase includes modules on motivational interviewing and
case management. During the first treatment phase, modules cover
the rationale for treatment, information-gathering about the
trauma, and common reactions to trauma. Modules in the next phase,
exposures, comprise the core of the treatment. By systematically
confronting situations associated with the trauma, adolescents
overcome avoidance and fear. Recounting the memory of the traumatic
event helps adolescents distinguish the past from the present and
promotes feelings of mastery. The final phase involves modules on
relapse prevention and treatment termination. This therapist guide
considers the adolescent's age and developmental level and includes
developmentally appropriate materials. It offers additional
guidance on tailoring the treatment to each client's unique
situation, including trauma type and family structure. Handouts for
parents are provided in an appendix. The corresponding teen
workbook contains information on each module and forms for
adolescent use. Comprehensive and effective, this program is an
invaluable contribution to the treatment of adolescents with PTSD.
