讲座内容：

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault. PTSD often co-occurs with other related conditions, such as depression, substance use, memory problems, other physical and mental health functioning impairment, and suicide ideation. In the U.S population, 7-8% of the population will have PTSD at some point in their lives. About 8 million adults have PTSD during a given year. However, PTSD is under-studied in China. In this talk, I would like to introduce a few randomized clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of Exposure Therapy treating PTSD in different populations (e.g., earthquake survivors, military members and civilians) conducted in both China and U.S. Studies investigating the mechanism underline the development of PTSD and treatment process will also be discussed. Furthermore, the first line studies to facilitate the distribution of evidence-based psychological treatments will also be introduced.
