The COVID-19 pandemic has raised considerable concerns about increased risk for suicidal behavior among US military veterans, who already had elevated rates of suicide before the pandemic.To examine longitudinal changes in from to nearly 10 months into and identify factors COVID-related variables associated with new-onset ideation (SI).This population-based prospective cohort study used data first second wave National Health Resilience Veterans Study, conducted November 18, 2019, December...
Trauma-related guilt is common, associated with posttraumatic mental health problems, and can persist after stress disorder (PTSD) treatment. We compared the efficacy of two six-session psychotherapies, Trauma-Informed Guilt Reduction (TrIGR) Supportive Care Therapy (SCT), for reducing trauma-related guilt. TrIGR helps patients accurately appraise their role in trauma re-engage values. In SCT, guide session content. A total 184 veterans seeking VA services were enrolled across sites; 145...
Practice assignments (i.e. homework) are a key component in cognitive behavioral therapies that predict treatment outcomes for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive (MDD) separately. However, research has not explored these variables among individuals with comorbid PTSD MDD.

Data were from randomized controlled trial for comparing supportive care...
Dropout is a ubiquitous psychotherapy outcome in clinical practice and treatment research alike, yet it remains poorly understood problem. Contemporary dropout dominated by models of prediction that lack strong theoretical foundation, often drawing on data from trials report an inconsistent incomplete fashion. In this article, we assert critical worthy investigation as mechanistic process. After briefly describing the scope problem, discuss many factors limit field’s present understanding...
Even after the most effective posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments, symptoms often persist. Understanding residual is particularly relevant in military populations, who may be less responsive to PTSD interventions.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive (MDD) frequently co-occur can cause significant impairment. Data are lacking as to whether interventions targeting both PTSD MDD may improve treatment outcomes among individuals with this comorbidity compared existing evidence-based treatments alone. This randomized trial the effectiveness of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) enhanced behavioral activation (BA+CPT) versus CPT 94 service members (52 women 42 men; age M = 28.5 years)...
Objective Despite effective treatment options for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), many patients do not complete therapy. This includes U.S. active duty service members, yet factors linked to attendance in this population remain understudied and dropout remains difficult predict. Additionally, most studies have examined samples with PTSD co-occurring major depressive (MDD) despite high rates of comorbidity.
