De-implementing treatments from the healthcare system: trauma-focused versus non-trauma-focused therapy of post-traumatic stress disorder as an example
Overview
This paper critically reviews a proposal to de-implement ineffective psychotherapies, using non-trauma-focused PTSD treatments as a case study. The authors analyze recent meta-analytical evidence comparing these therapies with trauma-focused approaches, finding that non-trauma-focused methods are generally safe, well-tolerated, and non-inferior in efficacy. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in the criteria and implications of treatment de-implementation.
