Summary

This is a feasibility and acceptability study of Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for PTSD in pregnant and postpartum adolescents and youth with PTSD.

Conditions

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Adolescence
  • PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • PTSD and Trauma-related Symptoms
  • Pregnancy and PTSD

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Written Exposure Therapy

WET may be an optimal treatment for pregnant or postpartum adolescents and youth with PTSD in a low resource setting. WET addresses many of the barriers above. It is delivered in just 5 sessions, with no homework, and may promote a sense of self-efficacy in adolescents and youth due to the nature of writing assignments and brief therapist involvement. It is attractive in resource-poor settings because just 10-15 min of direct therapist time per follow-up session is needed.
