Written exposure therapy (WET) is a efficacious treatment that has not been directly compared with prolonged (PE), more time-intensive, exposure-based treatment.
In recent years the written disclosure paradigm has beenrelated to improvements in physical healthin a numberofpopulations. However, it still remains unclear why thisparadigm is effective. this paper literature on thewritten reviewed, and possibleexplanations for its beneficial effects are explored. It isconcluded that, although may producebeneficial some individuals, more attentionneeds be directed toward understanding worksand whom approach might best suited.Methodological considerations...

Grounded in a dimensional model emotion, FACES provides valence (positive, negative) facial expressive behavior. In 5 studies, reliability validity data from 13 diverse samples, including students, psychiatric patients, community adults, are presented, results indicate that raters can reliably agree instances positive negative Validity studies ratings...
