TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Treating PTSD in the Context of Concurrent Suicide Risk: Current Evidence and Navigating Complicating Factors JO - Current treatment options in psychiatry A1 - Holliday, R. A1 - Holder, N. A1 - Williams, A.M. A1 - Monteith, L.L. SP - 213 EP - 228 VL - 8 IS - 4 N2 - PURPOSE of Review: There are a number of evidence-based therapies for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; e.g., cognitive processing therapy; prolonged exposure therapy). Many patients with PTSD present to treatment at elevated risk for suicide. In such circumstances, navigating evidence-based treatment for PTSD can be challenging, requiring nuanced approaches to ensure optimal therapeutic outcome while ensuring patient safety. Recent Finding: This manuscript describes the evidence for treating PTSD in the context of elevated risk for suicide.

METHODS of navigating clinical complexity (e.g., multimorbidity, psychosocial stressors) while maintaining fidelity to evidence-based protocols are discussed. Summary: We conclude by noting gaps in understanding, as well as necessary future research directions to ensure optimal care for this clinical population. © 2021, This is a U.S. government work and not under copyright protection in the U.S.; foreign copyright protection may apply.
