Terapia centrada en el presente y trastorno de estrés postraumático una revisión sistemática

Abstract

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a problem for which different treatments have emerged as an alternative not focused on the trauma, the Present Focused Therapy (PCT). A systematic review was conducted on the efficacy of PCT to treat PTSD, 19 articles were extracted that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In most studies it was found that PCTwas equally effective as other therapies, in others that the efficacy of PCT was greater and in others lesser, depending on the diversity of PTSD symptoms and associated conditions. It is possible that there are particular differences between individuals or between their symptoms that allow them to respond better to non-trauma-focused therapy than to trauma-focused therapy. Equal efficacy of PCT and other therapies was found for some PTSD symptoms, but not for others which may be due to individual differences between subjects or differences between PTSD symptoms PCT as a non-trauma-focused therapy could be effective for people who have complications in reliving their traumatic experience.
