Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
There is a particular need for more effective treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within the incarcerated population. The prevalence of trauma history and PTSD are markedly higher in jail and prison populations than in the general population, with estimates of current PTSD prevalence among prison inmates exceeding 20%, as opposed to 3-6% in the general population. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a potentially promising PTSD treatment for the prison setting. The primary objectives of this project include: 1. Establish the feasibility of group CPT delivery in male and female prisons with PTSD by examining participant retention in the 12-week course; 2. Obtain preliminary efficacy estimates for reducing PTSD symptom severity, as well as secondary symptoms associated with trauma, including depression, hopelessness, self-blame, and negative self-related thoughts.
