Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have especially reported smaller hippocampal volume in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), most of them war or sexual abuse victims. The present study compares the volumes out-patients PTSD who had low co-morbidity rates to those trauma-exposed control subjects without PTSD, and measures changes these after brief eclectic psychotherapy. We hypothesized that are specific effective psychotherapy would be measurable. Method....
