Maximizing treatment outcome in post-traumatic stress disorder by combining psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy

Abstract: There are no systematic data available on combining medication and psychotherapy in the treatment of individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), despite its widespread practice. Careful review of the acute trials literature reveals that psychosocial and pharmacologic treatments each leave a substantial proportion of individuals with residual symptoms.
