A comparison of cognitive-processing therapy with prolonged exposure and a waiting condition for the treatment of chronic posttraumatic stress disorder in female rape victims.

Moving toward precision PTSD treatment: predicting veterans' intensive PTSD treatment response using continuously updating machine learning models

“…Mounting evidence supports the efficacy of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT; Resick, Monson, & Chard, 2017a ), which is considered a first line intervention for treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; APA, 2017 ; ISTSS, 2017 ; VA/DoD, 2017 ). Support comes from randomized controlled trials (Monson et al, 2006 ; Resick, Nishith, Weaver, Astin, & Feuer, 2002 ; Resick et al, 2008 , 2015 , 2017b ) as well as clinical research (Asmundson et al, 2019 ; Held, Smith, Pridgen, Coleman, & Klassen, 2022c ; Lloyd et al, 2015 ). CPT has been successfully delivered in different formats such as the traditional 12 sessions delivered on a weekly basis (Monson et al, 2006 ; Resick et al, 2002 , 2008 , 2015 , 2017b ) and massed/intensive treatments which deliver a full course of treatment in as little as one to three weeks (Galovski et al, 2021 ; Held et al, 2022a , 2022c ).…”

Effect sizes for PTSD severity reduction in CPT are generally large and meaningful when delivered weekly or in massed format (e.g.…”

Comparing the unified protocol for transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders to prolonged exposure for the treatment of PTSD: Design of a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial

“…The usual UP protocol comprises 8 modules, designed for sequential delivery over 12–18 sessions of 50 minute duration. In IMPACT, UP sessions are extended to 90 minutes over 10 weeks to align the dose of treatment with PE [ 38 , 39 ]. Given UP is designed to be delivered in modules that go across sessions, structuring a 90 min session is relatively simple.…”

Development and feasibility testing of an integrated PTSD and adherence intervention cognitive processing therapy-life steps (CPT-L) to improve HIV outcomes: Trial protocol

“…Despite high rates of PTSD among PLWH and the link to HIV health related outcomes, research evaluating evidence-based PTSD treatment among seropositive populations on HIV outcomes is scarce. Gold standard, evidence-based treatments for PTSD, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) [ 33 ], have strong evidence for reducing avoidance, as well as traumatic stress, substance use, and depression among adults with complex trauma [ 34 , 35 ]. CPT has also been shown to reduce trauma-related self-blame and guilt [ 36 , 37 ], two factors intimately tied to avoidant coping [ 38 ].…”
