2.10 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Summary

  • Dr. Laura Watkins, Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Emory University School of Medicine, introduces us to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).


    We walk though the diagnostic criteria and discuss how these symptoms can impact a person's day-to-day life. We then learn to conceptualize PTSD in terms of both classical and operant conditioning. Finally, we explain evidence based psychotherapies for PTSD and conclude with a primer on psychopharmacology for PTSD.


    Essential references:

    1) Osser Psychopharmacology Algorithm for PTSD

    2) Clinical Guidelines for PTSD (United States Department of Veteran's Affairs and Department of Defense)

    3) This American Life: Ten Sessions
