To Whom It May Concern, first I'd like to thank you for this opportunity to have questions addressed regarding Behavioralism. As I stated above, I'd would like information about the subject line.

I assume you mean post-traumatic stress disorder (rather than medical treatments for trauma). You'll find discussion of this at the following web sites, where there are further resources:

It appears that cognitive-behavioral approaches are more typical than purely behavioral ones.
