There is no one-size-fits-all in the treatment of trauma-related disorders: Commentary on Rubenstein et al. (2024).

Recently, Rubenstein et al. (2024) published an article in American Psychologist providing a comprehensive review of psychological theories that underpin clinical applications and practices for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. The article highlights the roles that both trauma-focused and nontrauma-focused treatments can play in the recovery journey of trauma survivors. In this commentary, we further discuss the benefits and roles of nontrauma-focused interventions, such as acceptance and commitment therapy and social–interpersonal interventions. While trauma-focused exposure therapy remains an evidence-based approach, it is essential to recognize the diverse needs of trauma survivors and develop and evaluate other intervention approaches.
