Clinical inquiries: what is the most effective way to relieve symptoms of acute stress disorder?
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that emphasizes exposure-based treatment is the most effective intervention for adults with acute stress disorder (ASD). Exposure-based therapy reduces symptoms in adults with ASD more than CBT that focuses on cognitive restructuring; both therapies are better than no treatment at all. Avoid drug treatment within 4 weeks of appearance of symptoms, unless distress is too severe to be managed with psychological treatment alone.
