Summary: The article reviews recent guidelines for PTSD treatment and discussed each methodology through evidence-based analysis. After conducting experimental research, the study suggests PE, CPT and trauma-focused CBT should remain the primary treatment for PTSD.

Findings reveal that there is no evidence supporting the impact of phase-based approach in positive treatment and there is significantly more profit from trauma-focused treatment preceded with stabilisation phase. Based on the reseach, the conslusion was made that current treatment guidelines might be too conservative and require evidence-based revision.
Post-traumatic stress disorder: overview of evidence-based assessment and treatment
Lancaster, C., Teeters, J., Gros, D., & Back, S. (2016). Post-traumatic stress disorder: overview of evidence-based assessment and treatment. Journal of Clinical Medicine, 5(11), 105. Web.
Summary: The article reviews common characteristics and risk factors of PTSD and describe the measures used for monitoring and treating of this disorder. The study concludes that pharmacological treatments have shown to be relatively effective, but there appear to be concerns about relapse. Psychosocial interventions decrease the risk of relapse, but have significant rates of dropout or non-responsive behaviour from patients. Evidently, there is a need to investigate new strategies for PTSD treatment.
