ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The efficacy of a present-focused version of cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (CBCT for PTSD) was examined in a community sample.METHOD:
Seven couples completed pretreatment assessments, including measures of clinician-, self- and partner-rated PTSD symptoms and relationship satisfaction. Six couples completed present-focused CBCT for PTSD and all posttreatment assessments. A seventh couple terminated their relationship prior to completing treatment; therefore, they completed posttreatment symptom measures, but not ratings of relationship satisfaction.RESULTS:
Results revealed significant decreases in PTSD symptoms that were associated with medium-to-large effect sizes. Medium effect sizes for changes in relationship satisfaction were found, though were only significant for partners.CONCLUSION:
Results from this pilot study suggest that present-focused CBCT for PTSD may be a promising alternative for individuals who are unwilling to engage in a trauma-focused treatment.Palavras-chave
