About the Topic

Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a manualized trauma-focused
evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD. WET was developed as a brief,
more tolerable trauma-focused treatment that is easily trained and
disseminated to clinicians who work with PTSD patients. Due to its
brevity (5 sessions) and flexibility, it can be used in a variety of
clinical settings to expand access to evidence-base care for PTSD. WET
is recommended in the current version of the Clinical Practice Guideline
produced by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of
Defense. This presentation will provide information about the
development of WET, the evidence showing its effectiveness, and how to
implement the treatment in clinical practice.
