Examining potential contraindications for prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD
Overview
This paper reviews evidence regarding the use of prolonged exposure therapy for PTSD patients with common comorbidities such as borderline personality disorder, psychosis, and substance use disorders. The authors conclude that PE is generally safe and effective for these populations, often reducing both PTSD and comorbid symptoms. For cases involving severe comorbidity, the resource suggests treating PTSD with PE while providing integrated or concurrent support for the co-occurring conditions.
