Cognitive Processing Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder via Telehealth: Practical Considerations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

John C Moring et al. J Trauma Stress. 2020 Aug.

Abstract
in English, Spanish, Chinese

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has required mental health providers to rapidly rethink and adapt how they provide care. Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a trauma-focused, evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder that is effective when delivered in-person or via telehealth. Given current limitations on the provision of in-person mental health treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, this article presents guidelines and treatment considerations when implementing CPT via telehealth. Based on lessons learned from prior studies and clinical delivery of CPT via telehealth, recommendations are made with regard to overall strategies for adapting CPT to a telehealth format, including how to conduct routine assessments and ensure treatment fidelity.

La Terapia de Procesamiento Cognitivo para el trastorno de estrés postraumático vía telesalud: consideraciones prácticas durante la pandemia de covid‐19

TPC PARA TEPT DURANTE COVID‐19

La epidemia mundial de COVID‐19 ha requerido que los proveedores de salud mental reconsideren rápidamente cómo brindan atención. La terapia de procesamiento cognitivo (CPT por sus siglas en inglés) es una tratamiento para el trastorno de estrés traumático focalizada en el trauma y basada en la evidencia, la cual es efectiva cuando se hace presencialmente o por vía tele salud. Dada las limitaciones actuales en la provisión de tratamiento en salud mental presenciales durante la pandemia de COVID‐19, este artículo presenta directrices y consideraciones en el tratamiento cuando se implementa CPT a través de tele salud. Basados en las lecciones aprendidas de previos estudios y de la entrega clínica de CPT a través de tele salud, se hacen recomendaciones con respecto a las estrategias generales para adaptar la CPT al formato de tele salud, incluida la forma de realizar evaluaciones de rutina y garantizar la fidelidad al tratamiento.

標題: 以遙距方式進行針對創傷後壓力症的認知整理治療:在COVID‐19疫情下的實際考慮

撮要: 2019冠狀病毒病(COVID‐19)肆虐全球, 使心理治療師要迅速應變, 反思如何提供治療。認知整理治療(CPT)乃針對創傷後壓力症的聚焦創傷、實證為本的療法, 其以面對面或遙距的方式進行亦為有效。當前COVID‐19疫情限制了面對面的心理治療進行。因此, 本論文就進行遙距的CPT提出一些指引及治療考慮。我們基於過往的遙距CPT研究及臨床所得經驗, 為以遙距形式進行CPT的整體策略提供建議, 內容包括如何進行例行評估及確保治療精準度。
