None of the emerging posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) psychotherapy techniques include integration of a life-span perspective or cultural considerations that consider the unique traumatic event story of each survivor. This session will increase provider awareness of how to enhance assessment and psychotherapy addressing symptomatic dilemmas often faced by trauma survivors through clinical case examples of treating war refugees, military sexual assault survivors, group therapy with former prisoners of war, and a life review/traumatic stress group therapy with Vietnam War veterans.
