Resources

Below is partial list of resources from our latest book - Treating PTSD in Battered Women - for you to freely print and use in the course of delivering the therapy. These handouts are listed here because they are either in the public domain or easier to print than to copy from the book. All other handouts may be copied directly from the book. Also below, are links to downloadable mp3s for progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). The handouts and PMR recordings are listed below in the order most often used in treatment.
