Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly prevalent, often chronic and disabling psychiatric disorder that is associated with significant adverse health and life consequences. Fortunately, there is compelling evidence that cognitive-behavioral therapies, notably exposure therapies, are effective in reducing PTSD symptomology relative to waiting list and active control conditions. Prolonged exposure is a specific exposure therapy program that is considered a first-line evidence-based treatment for PTSD. Unfortunately, barriers to treatment dissemination prevent the majority of individuals with PTSD from receiving evidence-based treatment. Strategies to increase the availability of treatment and boost the efficiency of exposure therapy are now being examined.
创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）是一种高发的、常常慢性的、使人丧失能力的精神障碍，与重大的不良健康和生活后果相关。幸运的是，有确凿的证据表明，认知行为疗法，尤其是暴露疗法，相对于候补名单和积极对照条件，能有效地减轻 PTSD 的症状。延长暴露是一种特定的暴露疗法方案，被认为是 PTSD 的一线循证治疗方法。不幸的是，治疗传播的障碍使大多数 PTSD 患者无法接受循证治疗。现在正在研究增加治疗的可及性和提高暴露疗法效率的策略。
