Study Summary

The goal of this study is to examine whether a brief, exposure-based treatment (Written Exposure Therapy) approach is just as effective in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared with a more commonly used time-intensive approach called Prolonged Exposure. One hundred and fifty Veterans diagnosed with PTSD will be randomly assigned to either Written Exposure therapy or Prolonged Exposure. Veteran participants will be assessed at pre-treatment, and 10-, 20-, and 30- weeks post first treatment session. Primary outcome measure will be PTSD symptom severity. The secondary outcome measure will be quality of life. In addition, treatment dropout during the first five sessions will be examined. WET is expected to have a lower treatment dropout rate relative to PE.
