This course consists of six manuals designed to train therapists to treat posttraumatic stress disorder and other anxiety disorders with a cognitive-behavioral exposure-based psychotherapy protocol. These same six manuals can be found in "The TAB-P Protocol: The Complete Home-Study Course...," which also includes five videotapes or nine CD-ROM. The protocol integrates brief exposure with prolonged exposure, which enables the effectiveness of prolonged exposure to be retained without incurring the adverse treatment outcomes that sometimes occur when using prolonged exposure to treat some cases of complex PTSD. The protocol recognizes the critical importance of assimilation and rational thinking strategies, which are used to cognitively reframe the discordant data found in clients' memories of their traumatic events. The acronym TAB-P represents the variables thought to greatly influence treatment outcomes when using this protocol - namely, the therapeutic relationship or "T", assimilation and rational thinking or "A", and brief exposure or "B" that is used to tirate prolonged exposure or "P". Exposure-based psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for PTSD as well as for panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, and specific phobia. Fifteen to seventeen continuing education credits are available for psychologists and social workers for completing this home-study course and passing a 75-item objective test - see the Publisher's Comments section for details. The CE credits can only be purchased through the Red Toad Road Zshop - see the Publisher's Comments section for details.

From the Publisher
Empirically supported psychotherapies have not been well disseminated. One reason is they have proven to be impractical. They have not handled comorbidity very well, and it would seem a different protocol must be mastered for each of the over 200 DSM-IV diagnostic entities - an impossible task for virtually any clinician. Still another reason has been the lack of a cost-effective means to train clinicians to deliver such psychotherapies. Smyth's "TAB-P: Manuals..." home-study course satisfactorily addresses all of these problems in a truly unique and innovative fashion. The TAB-P protocol integrates brief exposure and prolonged exposure, with both forms having substantial evidence attesting to their efficacy when treating all of the anxiety disorders. In addition, this course enables clinicians to be trained in the application of exposure-based psychotherapy in a very convenient home-study format while simulataneously enabling them to earn a substantial number of relatively inexpensive continuing education credits. With Amazon.com's distribution system behind it, Smyth's "TAB-P: Manuals..." home-study course should become a prototype of the dissemination vehicle that empirically supported psychotherapies have so deperately needed. At least let us hope that this is the case for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of individuals world-wide who suffer from anxiety disorders for lack of availability of the treatment of choice - exposure-based psychotherapy.
The Amazon.com Bookstore does not sell the CE credits that accompany the "TAB-P: Manuals..." home-study course; however, Amazon.com's Red Toad Road Company Zshop does. Email the Red Toad Road Company for further information at redtoadroad@aol.
