ISTSS Treatment Guidelines. The revised Treatment Guidelines presented in Effective Treatments for PTSD, Second Edition, were developed under the auspices of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment Guidelines Task Force established by the Board of Directors of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) in 2005. The revised version of the guidelines replaces those published in 2000 and are based on an extensive review of the clinical and research literature prepared by experts in each field and intended to assist clinicians who provide treatment for adults, adolescents and children with PTSD. Because clinicians with diverse professional backgrounds provide mental health treatment for PTSD, the Guidelines were developed with interdisciplinary input.

Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, creative arts therapists, marital therapists and others actively contributed to and participated in the development process.
