Abstract

In the wake of 9/11, the mental health community began to develop a model for recovery and preparedness. A public information campaign regarding the psychological consequences of terrorism was launched, and it succeeded in reducing the stigma of utilizing mental health services. However, as this campaign began to succeed, it became clear that most clinicians in the community had little training in evidence-based assessment and treatment procedures for the psychological sequelae of terrorism. This article describes the development, delivery, and initial assessment of one attempt to correct this problem by broadly disseminating an effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Using models of behavior change, we were able to study trainee attitudes and the training process in ways that will help improve training effectiveness beyond what traditional Continuing Professional Education (CPE) has been able to do.
