ACT-Based Parenting Group for Veterans With PTSD: Development and Preliminary Outcomes

Pre- and post-treatment data were utilized to examine parenting outcomes (i.e., parenting behaviors, parenting satisfaction, and psychological flexibility) of veterans who participated in an acceptance and commitment therapy group. Participants reported increased levels of warmth and less aggression at the end of the class. Although these pre-post survey data revealed some positive trends, findings are tentative given the very small sample and lack of a comparison group.
