A Multicultural Approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD affects 12% of the U.S. civilian population and approximately 14-15% of military personnel returning from combat operations. Current mainstream theories of counseling and psychotherapy do not adequately address the cultural diversity or our civilian and military population. The purpose of this paper is to examine the need for a multicultural approach to cognitive behavioral theory for the treatment of PTSD to properly diagnose and treat our culturally diverse civilian and military populations.
