Prolonged exposure (PE) is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and has been successfully implemented in low-income and ethnoracial minority samples (Feske, 2008) and with Latinx individuals specifically (Vera et al., 2011). However, cultural and systemic factors may contribute to Latinx individuals experiencing higher conditional risk for PTSD (Alcántara et al., 2013), disparities in mental health care utilization (Alves-Bradford et al., 2020), and challenges with PTSD treatment delivery (Valentine et al., 2017). Culturally responsive implementation of PE with Latinx clients involves making culturally informed but person-specific assessments of clients, with adaptations as needed. We propose several culturally responsive strategies for therapists to consider when conducting PE with Latinx sexual assault survivors, such as building trust and rapport early on, conducting culturally informed assessment, investing in psychoeducation, optimizing imaginal exposure and <em>in vivo</em> exposure, and problem-solving barriers to homework engagement. Therapists are encouraged to approach this work with cultural humility (Fisher-Borne et al., 2015; Tervalon &amp; Murray-Garcia, 1998) through open listening, critical self-reflection, and consideration for the way in which Latinx identity intersects with other important identity characteristics that can impact treatment relevance and engagement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51511,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Practice","volume":"30 2","pages":"Pages 179-194"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49732386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Episodes of PNES physically resemble epileptic seizures; however, electrical activity within the brain appears to be within normal limits. Currently, there are no medications available to specifically manage PNES (Hingray et al., 2017). Although studies focused on the impact of psychological interventions for PNES are limited, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches appear to be effective (LaFrance et al., 2014). Prior exposure to a traumatic event is common for patients with PNES (Brown &amp; Reuber, 2016; Myers et al., 2017). Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT is effective for a variety of traumatic experiences, and asks patients to address avoidance (e.g., of situations, emotions) and challenge maladaptive thought patterns (Resick et al., 2017). In this case study, a 29-year-old Caucasian female patient presented for treatment with comorbid PTSD and PNES. Current PTSD diagnosis was indicated by self-reported and clinician-administered assessment, which included the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5 = 52 out of 80) and the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5 = 59 out of 80). This patient’s Criterion A trauma involved repeated domestic sexual assault as an adult, which occurred for several years. PNES was diagnosed approximately 1 year prior by a neuropsychologist. At the start of treatment, the patient endorsed PNES almost daily, which prevented her from maintaining a job or driving a vehicle. The patient was an early and successful responder to CPT, as she participated in 8 of 12 sessions. In addition to significantly lower self-reported PTSD and depressive symptom severity (PCL-5 = 5; PHQ-9 = 2), she did not experience PNES in the 17 days leading up to her final session. As the patient’s avoidance of distressing trauma-related thoughts and emotions decreased, so too did her PNES. This case study provides neurologists with a promising treatment approach for patients with PNES and PTSD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51511,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Practice","volume":"30 2","pages":"Pages 299-310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49708813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
