Treatment of Comorbid Sleep Disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Summary

The primary objective of the current study is to determine if providing cognitive-behavioral therapy of Insomnia and nightmares (CBTin) and Cognitive Processing Therapy of PTSD (CPT) results in greater PTSD and sleep symptom reduction than CPT only.
