Effects of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy on PTSD and Relationship Function
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: PTSD
In brief
The purpose of this study is to first adapt Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF-OIF) Veterans diagnosed with PTSD and their intimate partners by (1) reducing the overall length of treatment from 15 weeks to 10 weeks through the use of a weekend couple retreat to deliver the first two of three phases of the three-phase protocol; and (2) by integrating mindfulness interventions as a way to mitigate the short, more condensed treatment. Secondly, this study will examine the effects of this adapted Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy on PTSD symptoms and intimate relationship functioning.
