OVERCOMING THE TRAUMA OF YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Program
Edward J. Hickling & Edward B. Blanchard
Oxford University Press, May 2006
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Clinicians will learn evidence-based and effective cognitive behavioral treatment programs for use with motor vehicle accident survivors.
Motor vehicle accidents account for over 3 million injuries annually and are one of the most common traumas individuals experience. But the physical injuries are often less impactful in the long run than the severe emotional distress, flashbacks, and substantial impairment in work or family life. Studies of the general population have found that approximately 9% of people who survive an accident develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. And yet, few people seek treatment immediately, mostly because they are not aware of the nature of their condition or that successful brief treatments are available.
Written by the creators of an empirically supported cognitive-behavioral therapy program developed at The Center for Stress and Anxiety Disorders, this therapist guide includes all the information and materials necessary to implement a successful program for treating accident-related PTSD. The therapeutic technique described in this book is research-based with a proven success rate.
This is one of five Therapist Guides in Treatments That Work edited by David H. Barlow. These Guides are evidence-based procedures with adequate clinical research. The companion client workbooks can be ordered from online bookstores.
David H. Barlow, Ph.D., maintains a private practice and is Editor-in-Chief of the Treatments That Work(tm) series. He is also a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology of the American Board of Professional Psychology, as well as Professor of Psychology, Research Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University.
