Tuesday 13 May 2008
Venue: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE
Participating Sections:
Psychiatry Section
A successful meeting on post-traumatic stress disorder was held at the RSM in March 2006. This conference is a follow up meeting focusing on treatment for the condition.
Research in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is providing new insights both about the nature of the condition and its treatment. The aim of this conference is to take an evidence based view of the treatments currently used for PTSD. Topics covered include the potential for prevention of PTSD, and treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy, drugs, psychotherapy, computer based treatments and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing. By the end of the meeting, delegates attending will have gained a balanced perspective on the treatment of PTSD.
