Summary

This trial will test a brief, effective form of CPT against a control condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans over 18 with PTSD treated in PCTs, stable on psychotropic meds for at least 8 weeks, and scoring above 33 on the PCL-5. It's not for those with severe cognitive issues, psychosis or unmanaged bipolar disorder, recent CPT treatment, current detox needs, ongoing trauma-focused therapy, or acute suicide risk.
What is being tested?
The study aims to adapt Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) into a shorter format by identifying and delivering only its most effective components. This could reduce dropouts due to time constraints or lack of benefit and ensure that Veterans receive the best parts of CPT more efficiently.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here as it's a psychological intervention rather than a drug trial, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing traumatic events during therapy sessions.
