Sure,
Here is a thumb nail list of controversial PTSD therapies.

ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy)
EMS ( Electro Magnetic Stimulation)
certain types of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy),
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing),
some aversions therapies, and
some forms of the other desensitization therapies.

Some of the therapies require a drastic change in personal world view, changes in issues of conscience, etc.

Until there are established standards of use, many of these therapies will continue to be over used or misused to the detriment of the patient. Many therapist have a god complex and are resistant to common sense or scientific methodologies.
