Comparing Holographic Reprocessing and Prolonged Exposure for Women Veterans with Sexual Trauma: A Pilot Randomized Trial

Psychological and pharmacological interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid mental health problems following complex traumatic events: Systematic review and component network meta-analysis

“…We included 116 studies (115 papers) in the systematic review. Of these, 50 were conducted in hospital settings , 24 were delivered in a community setting , seven were delivered in military clinics for veterans or active military personnel [103][104][105][106][107][108][109], five were conducted in refugee camps [110][111][112][113][114], four used remote delivery via web-based or telephone platforms [115][116][117][118], four were conducted in specialist trauma clinics [119][120][121][122], two were delivered in home settings [123,124], and two were delivered in primary care clinics [125,126]; clinical setting was not reported in 17 studies [127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143].…”

“…Eighteen RCTs (n = 933 participants) of psychological interventions that measured the primary outcome with CAPS were included in the NMA [29, 36, 39, 44, 59, 68, 84, 88, 91-93, 100, 106, 107, 109, 116, 120, 123]. The complex-trauma subgroups of the included studies were categorised as follows: post-combat deployment veterans (55 studies) [ [31,92,93,131,137]; and mixed presentation (4 studies) [78,85,105,130]. The mean age of participants in the included RCTs was 42.6 ± 9.3 years, and 42% were male (S1 Table).…”

Pragmatic trial of brief warrior renew group therapy for military sexual trauma in VA primary care.

“…From CET, Katz designed an individual psychotherapy utilizing cognitive and experiential strategies to promote change at the experiential level (holographic reprocessing [HR]; Katz, 2001, 2005). HR has shown promising results in one pragmatic trial (Katz, Snetter, Robinson, Hewitt, & Cojucar, 2008) and three randomized clinical trials (Basharpoor, Narimani, Gamari-Give, Abolgasemi, & Molavi, 2011; Kasai, & Narimani, & Basharpoor, 2018; Katz, Douglas, et al, 2014). Compared to PE and cognitive processing therapy (CPT; Resick & Schnicke, 1993) to present-centered control conditions (non-trauma-focused treatment addressing current issues), HR’s performance was similar to that for the active treatments, and all were superior to the control conditions (Basharpoor et al, 2011; Katz, Douglas, et al, 2014).…”

In the HR/PE trial, the sample of women veterans with a history of sexual trauma had a significant lower dropout in HR compared to PE (Katz, Douglas, et al, 2014).…”

Efficacy of Warrior Renew group therapy for female veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma.

“…Then patients “reprocess” their understanding of themselves using insight and imagery (see Katz, 2005 for detailed treatment protocol of HR including imaginal reprocessing). Three outcomes studies using this approach to treat trauma have shown promising results (Basharpoor, Narimani, Gamari-Give, Abolgasemi, & Molavi, 2011; Katz et al, 2014b; Katz, Snetter, Robinson, Hewitt, & Cojucar, 2008).…”
