Behavioral Tech (2014-2017), and Director of Behavioral Tech Research (2013-2016). Her research has focused on developing and evaluating the DBT Prolonged Exposure protocol for PTSD as well as strategies for implementing evidence-based treatments into clinical practice. She regularly provides training and consultation nationally and internationally in DBT and DBT PE and has published extensively on these treatments. Dr. Harned is licensed as a psychologist in the state of Washington, certified as a DBT Clinician by the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, certified as a PE therapist and supervisor, and board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology.About the Topic
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are commonly comorbid disorders. Individuals with both disorders exhibit greater impairment than those with either disorder alone, including higher rates of suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury, more comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders, greater emotion dysregulation, and worse overall functioning. Although VA treatment guidelines recommend trauma-focused therapy as a first-line intervention for Veterans with PTSD, many providers are hesitant to deliver these treatments to patients with BPD due to their greater impairment. This presentation aims to provide information that will help providers make informed decisions about which PTSD treatment approaches are likely to be safe and effective for individuals with BPD of varying levels of severity. Research that has evaluated stand-alone, phase-based, and integrated treatment approaches for PTSD among individuals with BPD will be reviewed and recommendations for how best to match these research-supported treatments to patients with BPD based on their overall level of disorder will be provided.

About the Presenter
[Tara Galovski, PhD]
TARA GALOVSKI, PhD is the Director of the Women’s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for PTSD and a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine. Over the last two decades, Dr. Galovski has been a national trainer of Cognitive Processing Therapy, has trained over 1000 clinicians in both the VA and community mental health clinics, and has treated or supervised the treatment of 100s of PTSD cases. She is interested in exploring the effects of exposure to traumatic events and continuing the development of psychological interventions designed to treat PTSD and comorbid psychiatric disorders. She has conducted federally funded clinical trials (NIH, SAMHSA, DoD, VA) within a variety of populations exposed to different types of trauma including combat, sexual trauma, domestic violence, community violence, and motor vehicle accidents. This work has been conducted with civilians, law enforcement, active duty Service members, and Veterans and she has published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, chapters and three books.
About the Topic
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD most frequently delivered within VHA, yields large magnitude reductions in primary PTSD outcomes. Corresponding gains in occupational, social, leisure, and sexual functioning, and in health-related concerns, including chronic pain have also been demonstrated. Despite CPT’s effectiveness, there is room for improvement in overall outcomes (about 2/3 retain their PTSD diagnosis) and patient engagement (35-40% drop out prior to treatment completion). Further, improvements in functioning and quality of life are more modest than those observed in PTSD and associated mental health symptoms. Unaddressed difficulties in functioning contribute to premature dropout from EBPs for PTSD among Veterans. Directly targeting impairments associated with psychosocial functioning has the potential to substantially increase the scope of recovery beyond the core symptoms of PTSD and facilitate greater patient engagement, resulting in more Veterans benefitting from CPT. This presentation will describe the knowledge gap around the ability of evidence-based manuals to primarily target psychosocial functioning by using a more flexible, personalized approach to care centering around case formulation.

Older Adults and PTSD
Older adults with PTSD may have unique presentations and issues related to their PTSD symptoms. Although PTSD in some older adults will be chronic, other older adults may experience an emergence or exacerbation of PTSD symptoms as they age, and some may experience a late-life trauma that leads to a new onset of PTSD. This article will describe the presentation of PTSD in older adults as well as implications for assessment and treatment.

About the Topic
Complex presentations of PTSD, particularly dissociation and somatization trauma reactions, sometimes lead both clinicians and patients to hesitate to engage in a trauma-focused treatment for PTSD. The 2023 Clinical Practice Guideline for PTSD recommends evidence-based trauma-focused psychotherapies, such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as first-line of treatment for individuals with PTSD; and has identified several additional options as second-line of treatment for PTSD (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Present Centered Therapy (PCT), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET)). This course will help clinicians to identify and conceptualize dissociation and somatization presentations as trauma reactions within a PTSD case conceptualization framework. We will share measurement tools to encourage assessment of symptoms and diagnosis and review clinical suggestions to support first-line and second-line evidence-based PTSD treatment for Veterans with these complex presentations.

Andrew Sherrill, PhD
*ANDREW SHERRILL, PhD * is Assistant Professor in the Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of
Medicine. He is a practicing clinical psychologist at the Emory
Healthcare Veterans Program and the training director of the Emory
University Prolonged Exposure Consultant Training Program. He received a
PhD in clinical psychology from Northern Illinois University. He
completed his predoctoral internship at the American Lake Division of VA
Puget Sound Healthcare System and his postdoctoral fellowship at Emory
University School of Medicine. Dr. Sherrill's clinical expertise
includes behavior therapies for trauma- and anxiety-related disorders
including prolonged exposure for PTSD, exposure and response prevention
for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and acceptance and commitment therapy
for a range of emotion disorders. His areas of specialization include
the use of virtual reality in exposure therapies and the implementation
of massed-delivered evidence-based psychotherapy. He has published over
40 peer-reviewed papers and his current research aims to understand
effective dissemination and implementation of exposure therapy and the
development of technologies that facilitate exposure therapy in the
areas of ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, and
artificial intelligence.About the Topic
This lecture addresses the critical role of avoidance in PTSD and the
importance of challenging this maintenance mechanism in psychotherapy.
It will begin with an overview of PTSD’s symptom clusters, highlighting
the centrality of avoidance behaviors, and then explain the Prolonged
Exposure (PE) perspective of avoidance as a barrier to new adaptive
learning and, therefore, recovery from PTSD. This perspective can
facilitate gains in several PTSD treatments, not just PE. It will detail
how avoidance manifests in passive and active forms and provides
examples of common avoidant behaviors. The idea that problematic
avoidance occurs not just at the patient level but also within systems,
relationships, and therapy will be introduced. The presenter will
describe how "collusion with avoidance” can inhibit recovery and
reinforce avoidance patterns, even among well-meaning therapists.
Through six video examples, the presentation will guide viewers to
reflect on avoidant behaviors in both patients and therapists, fostering
compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. By acknowledging the
universal impulse to avoid discomfort, even when problematic, therapists
can label their own avoidance and identify ways to correct their
behaviors as an act of compassion to both themselves and the patients
they serve.

Brian Marx, PhD
*Brian Marx, PhD * is Deputy Director of the Behavioral Science
Division, National Center for PTSD and a Professor in the Department of
Psychiatry, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of
Medicine. He is also the Co-Director of VA’s Suicide Prevention Research
Impact Network (SPRINT). He has studied the effects of psychological
trauma for more than 30 years and has received an award for Outstanding
Contributions to the Science of Trauma Psychology from Division 56 of
the American Psychological Association and the Robert S. Laufer Memorial
Award for Outstanding Scientific Contributions from the International
Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Among his previous
accomplishments, Dr. Marx developed a sexual assault prevention program
that was endorsed by the World Health Organization. He is also a
co-author of several of the instruments most used to diagnose PTSD and
has pioneered methods to improve the quality of PTSD diagnostic
assessments for multisite randomized clinical trials. Along with Dr.
Denise Sloan, he is co-developer of Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD,
an evidence-based treatment recognized by three PTSD clinical practice
guidelines. Dr. Marx has published over 300 scientific articles and has
received external funding from various federal agencies and private
foundations to support his research.About the Topic
Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a manualized trauma-focused
evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD. WET was developed as a brief,
more tolerable trauma-focused treatment that is easily trained and
disseminated to clinicians who work with PTSD patients. Due to its
brevity (5 sessions) and flexibility, it can be used in a variety of
clinical settings to expand access to evidence-base care for PTSD. WET
is recommended in the current version of the Clinical Practice Guideline
produced by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of
Defense. This presentation will provide information about the
development of WET, the evidence showing its effectiveness, and how to
implement the treatment in clinical practice.

Kyle Possemato, PhD
*KYLE POSSEMATO, PhD* is the Associate Director for Research for the VA
Center for Integrated Healthcare and holds faculty appointments in the
Department of Psychology at Syracuse University and the Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the State University of New York,
Upstate Medical University. Her research focuses on developing, testing
and implementing interventions for PTSD and substance use disorders with
an emphasis on interventions that can be delivered in non-traditional
ways in order to increase patient engagement. Examples include brief
interventions delivered in the primary care setting, technology-based
(e.g., web and smart phone) interventions, and services delivered by
peer-support specialists. Much of Dr. Possemato’s research focuses on
testing and implementing cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness
interventions to increase engagement in care and reduce PTSD symptoms
and alcohol use among Veterans.About the Topic
PTSD commonly occurs among primary care patients in both Veterans
Affairs and community settings. Research demonstrates that most primary
care patients with PTSD do not receive adequate PTSD treatment.
Evidence-based screenings and treatments for PTSD that are appropriate
for the primary care setting are now available. This presentation will
detail gold standard screening methods and describe several brief
treatments for PTSD, including their evidence base and current
implementations status. Strategies for shared decision making on when to
treat in primary care and when to referral to specialty mental health
settings will also be discussed.Are you treating veterans? We can help. PTSD Consultation Program

For Mental Health Providers: Working with People Affected by
Disaster EventsA range of challenges may be present for people in your care after
disaster events like Hurricane Helene. This article summarizes ways
that disasters might affect people with existing mental health issues
and provides suggestions for how providers can help mitigate risk for
their patients. Examples of how to talk about disaster events are
provided along with consideration about how to modify treatments and a
framework to help manage reactions.*Read the full version of this new article

About the Presenter
Kristi Ensor Pruiksma, PhD, DBSM
*KRISTI PRUIKSMA, PhD, DBSM* is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The University
of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She is a licensed
clinical psychologist and a Diplomat for Behavioral Sleep Medicine. Her
work focuses on clinical research and supporting dissemination of
evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders and PTSD with a focus on
active duty military personnel in affiliation with the STRONG STAR
Consortium. She has published more than 50 empirically- reviewed
articles and is currently the PI of a DoD funded project to build and
test a web-based provider training for CBT for nightmares and a DoD
funded project comparing CBT-I and BBT-I in active duty service members
with postconcussive symptoms following Mild TBI.About the Topic
The prevalence of nightmare disorder in the general population is 5%.
Nightmares are typically characterized as idiopathic (i.e., from an
unknown cause) or trauma-related (i.e., beginning or changing in
frequency, severity, or content after a traumatic event). Nightmares are
reported by 30% of trauma-exposed civilians, 50% of trauma-exposed
veterans, and 30-40% of active duty military personnel and members of
the National Guard. Among individuals diagnosed with PTSD, nightmare
rates are higher and are reported by 57% of civilians with PTSD and
50-70% of active duty service members with PTSD. A variety of cognitive
behavioral interventions show promise for the treatment of nightmares
and also improve insomnia, PTSD, and depression. There is a wide range
of names for the various treatments tested in randomized controlled
trials, which creates challenges in comparing treatment efficacy by
protocol in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Furthermore, there are
not enough providers trained in CBT-N. This presentation will bridge the
gap by summarizing data regarding the definition and prevalence of
nightmares, providing an overview of CBT-N protocols, describing
research of the efficacy of CBT-N in PTSD, and describing a newly
developed, DoD funded, web-based provider training for CBT-N.*Contact Us*
