Abstract

The increased prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among military personnel and veterans in the OEF/OIF/OND era has highlighted the challenges of treating PTSD and nightmares and other sleep disturbances which are among the most common refractory symptoms. This chapter introduces a psychotherapy called Nightmare Deconstruction and Reprocessing (NDR), a novel approach that combines deconstruction of and exposure to nightmare images, meaning making and reprocessing, and dream reconstruction.
