Critical analysis of the current treament guidelines of complex PTSD in adults

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the research underlying these treatment guidelines for complex PTSD and specifically address the question as to whether a phase-based approach is needed, and they conclude that there is no rigorous research to support the views that: (1) a phase based approach is necessary for positive treatment outcomes for adults with complex PTSD, (2) front-line trauma-focused treatments have unacceptable risks or that adults with cPTSD do not respond to them, and (3) adults with PTSD profit significantly more from trauma focused treatments when preceded by a stabilization phase.
