Study Summary
This trial compares two psychotherapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Present Centered Therapy (PCT), for veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. We hypothesize that ACT will be more effective than PCT at reducing emotional distress and improving functioning. We further hypothesize that both interventions will be highly acceptable to participants.
Primary Outcome
To determine if receiving ACT, as compared to PCT, is associated with reduced distress as measured by the BSI-18 General Symptom Index (GSI) at the end of treatment. The BSI-18 GSI summarizes a respondent's overall level of distress. The score used in a normatively based T-score (range 1-100) calculated from the sum of responses. Higher scores are indicative of greater distress.
