HOT ! Understanding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, 2nd Edition｜ Other Products

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex syndrome that may occur after exposure to one or more traumatic events. PTSD involves a characteristic set of symptoms that includes re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoiding stimuli associated with the traumatic event, having negative changes in mood or cognitions associated with or worsening after the traumatic event, and experiencing increased reactivity and arousal. With the high prevalence of trauma exposure within the U.S., health care professionals are providing care to many trauma-exposed patients who are at risk of developing PTSD, and who may not have the comfort level or skills needed to assess and intervene appropriately. It is essential for occupational therapy practitioners to be able to screen for the presence of traumatic experiences, as well as possible PTSD symptoms, in all encounters with clients and families so that referrals to treatment can be provided. This basic-level course provides an overview of PTSD for occupational therapy practitioners working in a variety of roles and settings. This course addresses basic information regarding PTSD, including DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, etiology, incidence, risk factors, interventions, and treatment methods. With distinct mental health training and education targeting occupational performance, occupational therapy practitioners are integral to the interdisciplinary team for those at risk for or diagnosed with PTSD and their families. Unique historical perspectives, assessment, and treatment practices specific to occupational therapy will also be presented.
