Predicting Treatment Outcomes With Intensive Outpatient Treatment for PTSD

Prolonged Exposure for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PE for PTSD; Foa, Hembree, \& Rothbaum, 2007) is an empirically supported behavioral therapy that utilizes exposure-based interventions to target the psychological mechanisms (i.e., avoidance; maladaptive cognitive changes) thought to maintain trauma-related symptoms. IOP-PE includes 15 days of PE treatment delivered over three consecutive weeks. The standard outpatient PE protocol has modified with seven treatment augmentations to meet the unique needs of post-9/11 veterans.
