- The dropout rate from trauma focused treatments (TFTs), in randomised controlled trials is 1 in 4
- With a 50% recovery rate, but in routine practice only the tip-of-the iceberg recover
- TFTs are not user-friendly for clinicians or clients, as the latter rarely want to re-live their trauma
- But there is a new way forward – gradually daring the client to think and behave as they did pre-trauma. At the same time challenging the relevance of the intrusive memories to what they might do today. That is, changing the window through which they view themselves and their personal world.
