CME Background
Articles are selected for credit designation based on an assessment of the educational needs of CME participants, with the purpose of providing readers with a curriculum of CME articles on a variety of topics throughout each volume. Activities are planned using a process that links identified needs with desired results.
CME Objective
After studying this article, you should be able to:
- Use evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD whether or not patients have comorbid bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
Statement of Need and Purpose
Evidence-based treatments for PTSD are underused in patients with comorbid SMI, due in large part to clinicians’ misperceptions of their efficacy and appropriateness in these patients. Increasing awareness of the relative efficacy of various treatments for PTSD such as prolonged exposure, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and cognitive processing therapy may lead to greater use of these therapies in people with SMI and thus to improved patient care.
