bp today publicly presented the Azerbaijani translation of
another internationally recognized academic book for educational
institutions, bringing the total number of bp-supported academic
resources to 30.
This initiative is part of bp’s broader educational programme
aimed at enhancing the quality of teaching and learning at
Azerbaijani universities by providing access to world-class
academic materials, knowledge, and expertise. It marks another
significant milestone in bp’s long-term commitment to educational
development in the country.
The newly translated book, Cognitive Processing Therapy for
PTSD: A Comprehensive Therapist Manual by Patricia A. Resick,
Candice M. Monson, and Kathleen M. Chard, is intended for
specialists in cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). It is recommended as a valuable resource
for psychology faculties and healthcare organizations engaged in
trauma rehabilitation.
CPT is internationally recognized as a best practice for PTSD
treatment and is already applied in Azerbaijan to train
professional psychologists specializing in trauma care. The book
focuses on adapting CPT for specific populations, including combat
veterans, making it highly relevant for addressing war-related
trauma in Azerbaijan.
Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, bp’s vice president for the Caspian
region, said: “We believe the book is of critical importance to the
rehabilitation of people who suffer from war stress and other kinds
of traumas. By supporting the publication of the book, we hope to
help strengthen psychological rehabilitation in Azerbaijan,
including mental health rehabilitation of people who have suffered
emotional and psychological trauma. It will also help further
enhance the knowledge and skills of people specializing in the
treatment of trauma survivors, as well as raise awareness among
those affected by PTSD and their family members.”
The book is bp’s gift to educational institutions, psychology
faculties, and healthcare establishments engaged in trauma
rehabilitation.
The book translation and publication initiative was implemented
by the international charity organization For Azerbaijan as part of
its flagship project, Building up Psychological Rehabilitation
Capacity in Azerbaijan, which focuses on sustainable solutions for
vulnerable groups. bp contributed 19,700 AZN to cover translation
and publication costs.
