Summary

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling condition. Trauma-focused psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), are among the recommended first-line treatment alternatives. However, a substantial proportion of patients decline, drop-out or do not respond to current psychotherapies. Previous research suggests that intensive or concentrated formats of trauma-focused psychotherapy can lead to faster recover and lower attrition, but there are currently few studies of these approaches. The current study will investigate the acceptability. treatment satisfaction and preliminary changes in symptoms after four consecutive days of concentrated CBT for PTSD.
