Lori Zoellner's work on post-traumatic stress disorder was featured in UW Today: "Learning to not be afraid."

“It may seem counterintuitive to ask someone to repeatedly recount an event that is so scary,” said Zoellner, director of UW’s Center for Anxiety & Traumatic Stress. “But as someone does this he or she begins to look at the memory differently and the memory has less control over their lives." The Center will soon start studying this therapy along with medication. http://www.washington.edu/news/articles/learning-to-not-be-afraid-uw-psychologists-treat-ptsd-with-drug-known-to-enhance-learning
