摘要
This case study displays the successful application of Prolonged Exposure (PE) for a client with diagnoses of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). To our knowledge ADHD has not been examined as a predictor or moderator of PE outcomes. As such, practitioners have precious little information about how to proceed in such cases, which highlights the importance of careful individual assessment and case conceptualization. There is also a dearth of information on the effects of combining PE (a research-supported psychological intervention for PTSD) with psychostimulant medication (a research-supported pharmacological intervention for ADHD). The present case study illustrates a positive synergy between psychostimulant treatment and PE. The unique adjustments made to deliver services (including in the face of COVID-19) are described as well as what this case suggests about the effects of psychostimulant use on PTSD symptoms and the new learning that occurs during PE.
