Disasters can be an unpredictable source of complex mental health
issues. A mass casualty disaster occurs somewhere in the world on a
near daily basis, and victims can have symptoms that persist over
time. Cognitive behavior therapy for postdisaster distress (CBT-PD)
is a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of a range of
distressing symptoms that might not meet criteria for a specific
disorder. Over 12-13 sessions, the CBT-PD program provides
psychoeducation about PTSD and the broad range of psychological
reactions to a disaster, and teaches core skills that empower
clients to take charge of their recovery: breathing retraining (to
reduce hyper-arousal and anxiety), activity scheduling of pleasant
and meaningful events (to reduce depression and avoidance of valued
roles), and cognitive restructuring (to reduce negative feelings
and change thoughts and beliefs that underlie persistent
postdisaster reactions). Refined over twenty years of clinical
practice, this research-based approach is associated with
significant reductions in PTSD and other distressing symptoms. This
practical guide includes therapist scripts and client vignettes,
and over two dozen and worksheets that mental health providers can
use with their clients.
