Intensive treatment programmes (ITPs) have shown promise for reducing PTSD and depression symptoms. However, it is still unknown whether treatment gains are maintained following completion. This study examined whether veterans were able to maintain treatment gains for up to 12 months after an ITP for PTSD and whether reductions in negative posttrauma cognitions predicted treatment gain maintenance. Methods, results, and conclusions will be presented.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Maintenance of Treatment Gains Up to 12-months Following a Three-week Cognitive Processing Therapy-based Intensive PTSD Treatment Programme for Veterans created by Philip Held, Ph.D. et al. in 2020.
