The url below will take you to a pdf summarizing the work of the NAS’s Institute of Medicine’s recent review of 180 studies of treatment’s of PTSD. The brief focuses on findings and 8 recommendations for future work.
As an aside–social work does not have an institute within the NAS (unlike our peers in education who have a National Academy of Education); it’s long past time that we did and there have been some modest efforts by the National Association of Deans and Directors (of social work) to identify a group of senior social work scholars who could be the core of a National Academy of Social Work or, paralleling, nursing, the American Academy of Nursing) that can obtain external support to review the scientific basis for various social work practices.
