This page contains information and summaries of published research that are intended for people with professional training in mental health.  We urge caution since it may be difficult to know how to interpret the information without advanced training in psychology or psychiatry.

We recommend that readers interested in information intended for the general public check other areas of this web site (such as Info for Adults or Info for Children).  They contain similar information, but in a more readable form.  Also, elsewhere we have provided links to other websites that we feel may be helpful.

The information provided in the links on the left margin of this page is derived from an outline for a talk delivered by Dr. Lilly at an annual meeting of the Maine Psychological Association in 2002.   It represents a review of some of the available empirical literature on treatment for PTSD.  

The outline is intended for a people with professional training in mental health.  Readers without professional training may find the information presented below a little dry.  Of greater concern, it may be difficult to know how to interpret the information without a background in psychology or psychiatry.  Therefore, we suggest that readers interested in information intended for the general public check other pages on this web site, or some of the links we have provided on other pages. 

The outline includes some summaries of information culled from standard references and research on psychopharmacological intervention.  We are not psychiatrists or psychopharmacologists, and this information should be considered with this caveat in mind.  We urge anyone interested in learning about psychopharmacological treatment to seek expert advice from a psychiatrist or psychopharmacologist. 

Finally, while we believe that an individual practitioner's evaluation and judgment is essential in shaping treatment, we hope that the following information will be helpful.
