The National Association for Continuing Education (NACE) announces new CE courses for psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and licensed mental health professionals.
With online continuing education booming, NACE has responded to the requests of members to provide more online courses on post-traumatic stress disorders. NACE now offers the following new online course at www.naceonline.com.
PTSD Treatment I: CBT, Neurobiology & Pharmacotherapy 3 Credits
Part I of this course provides an overview of cognitive-behavioral interventions for PTSD. It describes some basic aspects of CBT, outlines cognitive-behavioral theories of PTSD, discusses key trauma-focused CBT interventions, and provides some tips for using CBT to encourage behavior change. Additional resources related to the topic are identified. Part II has two principal objectives. First it will review the psychobiology of the human response to stress in order to establish the pathophysiological rationale for utilizing different classes of medications as potential treatments for PTSD. Second it will review the current literature on evidence-based pharmacotherapy for PTSD. New medications currently being tested will also be discussed.
This program is available for 3 continuing education (CE) credits.
Completing this program should:
1. List the key elements of four major cognitive-behavioral theories of PTSD
2. Identify concrete ways of increasing compliance with between-session task assignments and reducing treatment dropout
3. Describe the major neurotransmitters, pathways and their implications in the evelopment and treatment of PTSD
