- Abstract
The article presents a research study into the relative effectiveness of two types of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for female military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study compared two randomly selected groups of women with PTSD, one of which received prolonged exposure CBT, in which a patient is asked to recount the traumatic event to become desensitized, and the other group which received present-centered therapy, a supportive intervention. The outcome demonstrated that prolonged exposure subjects experienced greater reduction of PTSD symptoms compared to women who received present-centered therapy.
