Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if cognitive processing therapy (CPT) delivered in a massed format (MCPT) is as effective as standard delivery of CPT. MCPT will be delivered in an intensive outpatient setting (12 sessions in 5 days) composed of both group and individual sessions. Standard delivery of CPT consists of 12 sessions over 6 weeks and involves only individual sessions. Assessment of PTSD and related symptoms will be conducted at pre-treatment and 1 month and 4 months following treatment in both conditions. Additionally, in order to compare the treatment groups at the same point in actual time, each group will be assessed at the one month posttreatment time point for the other condition.
