“…For treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT), Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), group delivered cognitive behavior therapy (GD-CBT), behavioral therapies, critical incident stress debriefing and psychodynamic treatments are usually being applied, where TF-CBT has strongest empirical support. 2,3 TF-CBT was developed by Dr. Anthony Mannarino, Judith Cohen and Esther Deblinger during the 1990's, 4 which is a manualized treatment. It is designed to address the unique needs of children and adolescents who have trauma-related symptoms such as PTSD, behavioral problems, sexualized behaviors, maladaptive or unhelpful beliefs and mental health disorders related to traumatic life experiences.…”

Children and adolescents of this era are experiencing more traumatic events than earlier, resulting in more diagnosed cases of post traumatic stress disorder. One such case is discussed here following exposure to molestation. After assessment and case formulation, an extensive psychological management (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy) was done which is presented through the report. Mentionable improvement was acknowledged by client who paves the way for future evidence-based work.Bang J Psychiatry June 2016; 30(1): 20-22

“…Extensive literature exists on evidence-based psychological treatments, which are therefore effective for PTSD in both the adult (Blankenship, 2017;Cusack et al, 2016) and child population (Dowd & McGuire, 2011). The two approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), accompanied by pharmacological treatment (National Center for PTSD, 2016).…”

Background. Current literature shows that posttraumatic stress disorder and complex posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms differ. Although the psychological treatments available for posttraumatic disorder are well established, little is known about the effectiveness of those aimed at the treatment of complex posttraumatic stress. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of psychological treatments for complex posttraumatic stress disorder. Method. A systematic qualitative search was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, searching four psychological and health electronic databases: Medline, Pilots, PsycINFO, and Pubmed. Three reviewers independently selected the studies in two phases: preselection (criteria for complex posttraumatic stress disorder, replicable psychological treatment, and treatment effect) and selection (additional criteria: type of study, participants, and treatment). Results. Of the 615 studies reviewed, 25 were preselected, eight of which met the inclusion and methodological quality criteria. Five studies explored adult populations (with one exception, all were randomized clinical trials) and three child populations (clinical studies with pre- post-treatment design, with and without control group). Most studies with adult populations included psychoeducation, cognitive restructuration, and exposure therapy. The studies with child samples included EMDR and mindfulness as the most frequent treatment components. Discussion and conclusion. The evidence was insufficient to determine the most effective treatment. More research on this issue is required.
