Study Summary

This randomized controlled trial will assess whether a novel complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) intervention, Loving-kindness Meditation (LKM), is not meaningfully inferior to another group-based PTSD treatment , Cognitive Processing Therapy (Cognitive Only version; CPT-C) for reductions in PTSD and depressive symptoms. 170 male and female Veterans with current PTSD will be randomized to LKM or CPT-C. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans randomized to LKM will report mean reductions in PTSD and depressive symptom severity that are not meaningfully worse than CPT-C. The investigators further hypothesize that reductions in posttraumatic maladaptive beliefs will more strongly mediate PTSD and depressive symptom improvement for those assigned to CPT-C than those assigned to LKM.
