Research Program: PTSD Protocol for War Veterans
March 8, 2009 by rfliotta
Early in the evolution of the NLP Research & Recognition Project PTSD was selected as a critical area to pursue research of NLP treatment strategies that clinical experience has indicated are very effective in alleviating the symptoms of PTSD. Multitudes of veterans with PTSD don’t presently have access to the effective methods used by NLP practitioners. In order to help more veterans the efficacy of NLP’s methods for addressing PTSD need to be empirically validated to achieve the wider recognition among therapists and health care professionals that is warranted.
To this end, a major thrust of the NLP Research and Recognition Project has been developing research grants and seeking funding for implementation. Helping in this effort are a team of concerned businessmen, veterans’ organizations, politicians, university professors and NLP experts. A research and NLP treatment protocol has been developed with special emphasis on the needs of returning war veterans. The NLP PTSD Protocol is a standardized treatment procedure designed to facilitate empirical study of the effectiveness of NLP techniques in the treatment of PTSD. Two grants, using state of the art research designs have been circulating for funding since early in 2008. We hope to complete the first major study under a recently submitted $15,000,000 Department of Defense Center for Excellence for PTSD Grant. 3000 veterans will be treated at both University and Army base sites if it is approved as written.
The need for more efficient and effective PTSD treatments is a nationally recognized priority. An extensive review of existing PTSD treatments was completed by the Institute of Medicine’s Committee on Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in October 2007 (see National Academies site for more information on this report). They concluded that only one treatment, of the many examined, has enough evidence to determine efficacy in the treatment of PTSD. They emphasized the need for more high quality research on PTSD treatment options. Clearly the current state of the science does not offer veterans with PTSD treatment choices that they can consider with confidence.
NLP offers promising interventions that have been clinically effective in treating PTSD. A primary goal of the NLP Research and Recognition Project is to ensure that high quality research research is done to demonstrate the efficacy of NLP in the treatment of PTSD. The pending grants utilizing the NLP PTSD Protocol for war veterans are a significant step in the right direction.
