Summary
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and heavy alcohol use can be common among military Veterans. As a first partner-involved treatment, this pilot study assessed pre- and post-scores of Veterans and their partners on measures related to alcohol use, PTSD, depression, and relationship satisfaction. Findings revealed significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, depression, and amount of alcohol consumption each day.
