Summary
Due to perceived stigma, many Service members with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) do not receive mental health treatment. This randomized clinical trial examined the efficacy of brief cognitive-behavior therapy in reducing PTSD symptoms when delivered in a primary care setting with Active Duty Service members. Results showed a marked reduction in PTSD severity and general distress.
