尽管预防创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的努力取得了相对有限的成功，但理论上有效的预防方法正在出现。当前这篇文章批判性地回顾了针对有暴露于创伤性事件风险的人或已经暴露于创伤性事件的人的创伤后应激障碍预防计划的调查。这篇综述独特地扩展了该领域先前的综述，通过使用PTSD的理论来建议PTSD预防领域的未来方向。作者首先讨论了主要的作用机制，这些机制被认为可以解释在大量少数创伤性事件暴露个体中PTSD症状无法缓解的原因。其次，回顾了PTSD预防工作的实证进展。第三，作者考虑了现有的预防方案如何针对这些作用机制。最后，作者展望了针对性PTSD预防领域的未来研究方向。
Although efforts to prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have met with relatively limited success, theoretically driven preventive approaches with promising efficacy are emerging. The current article critically reviews investigations of PTSD prevention programs that target persons at risk for being exposed to a traumatic event or who have been exposed to a traumatic event. This review uniquely extends prior reviews in this area by using theories of PTSD to suggest future directions in the area of PTSD prevention. The authors first discuss the primary mechanisms of action believed to account for the failure for PTSD symptoms to remit among a substantial minority of traumatic event-exposed individuals. Second, empirical progress in PTSD prevention efforts is reviewed. Third, the authors consider how existing prevention programs target these mechanisms of action. Finally, the authors consider directions for future research in the area of targeted PTSD prevention.
