摘要：Brief eclectic psychotherapy for PTSD (BEPP) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines and integrates elements from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and directive psychotherapy. Psychoeducation is done jointly with the patient and his or her partner. Exposure, a structured writing task, and memorabilia are used to help patients accessing, feeling and expressing their suppressed emotions related to the traumatic experience. In the domain of meaning stage, patients will learn how they and their view of the world have changed, and that they have become ‘‘sadder but wiser’’. Much emphasis is put on the vulnerability of human beings. Finally, an individually tailored farewell ritual is done to end treatment, to reunite with loved ones, and to go on with life.Keywords: Posttraumatic stress disorder; treatment; learning(Published: 20 December 2013)For the abstract or full text in other languages, please see Supplementary files in the column to the right (under Article Tools)Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology 2013, 4: 21369 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ejpt.v4i0.21369 This paper is part of a cluster 'Invited papers 13th European Conference on Traumatic Stress'.
