Abstract
Given the ever‐increasing sources of trauma both nationally and globally, it is imperative to develop new and better treatments for anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This review is a collection of presentations that seek to do just that, either by using pharmacotherapy to try to prevent or erase the formation of traumatic fear memories, or to enhance exposure‐based cognitive–behavioral therapy using pharmacological agents that have been effective in enhanced extinction of fear in rodents.
