Interventions

Behavioral Activation treatmentbehavioral

Behavioral Activation (BA) is a present-focused psychotherapy based on behavioral theory and principles of change, that aims to re-engage individuals with meaningful and pleasurable life activities by targeting and problem-solving patterns of avoidance. It is well-established as a treatment for depression and has been modified for the current study to address PTSD-related problems.

Treatment as Usualother

Usual Care for PTSD (UC)-that is provided in the VA PTSD Specialty clinics. Actual clinical practice varies between sites and between providers within sites, as is typical of the VA health care system. Subjects assigned to Usual Care will be permitted to receive medical intervention (i.e., pharmacotherapy) and any additional psychotherapy deemed appropriate by the provider. They will also be offered a minimum of 6 sessions of individual therapy.
