Conditions studied: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD
In brief
The study is a randomized trial of two manualized 12-session one-to-one educational and therapeutic interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to test and compare their efficacy for reducing PTSD symptoms as a means of prevention of intergenerational victimization by or involvement in criminal activities with at-risk mothers. The two therapies are (1) Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET) and (2) Present Centered Therapy (PCT). The study also included a wait-list comparison condition in which participants were offered one of the two therapies following completion of baseline and posttest assessments.
