Summary

This trial aims to test a treatment for anger and aggression related to past betrayal on military service members and veterans. They want to see if the treatment is effective and feasible for use in a military setting.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active duty military members and veterans aged 18 or older who are dealing with chronic anger and aggression due to past betrayal. Participants must be able to attend treatment sessions in a military outpatient setting.
What is being tested?
The study tests the CART program, which includes 14 modules given twice a week aimed at managing anger and aggression from betrayal trauma. The effectiveness will be measured by participant satisfaction and reduction in symptoms, with different groups starting treatment after varying wait times.
