Psychotherapy Treatment of Deployment-Related PTSD in Primary Care Settings

The study investigators have developed a 4-session PTSD treatment plan including a behavioral health consultants (BHC) manual and a patient guide for use in primary care. Therapists will be psychologists who are functioning as behavioral health consultants (BHC) in an integrated primary care clinic. The study will adapt intervention methods for use in the time-constrained primary care environment from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(ies) that have proven effective for PTSD in specialty mental health care settings. Study participants will receive four 30-minute treatment sessions over six weeks.
