Controlled Trial of Psychotherapy for Congolese Survivors of Sexual Violence
Overview
This paper reports on a randomized controlled trial conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo to evaluate cognitive processing therapy for female survivors of sexual violence with high levels of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The study compares outcomes between a group receiving individual and group therapy sessions and a control group receiving individual support, measuring symptom severity and functional impairment at baseline, post-treatment, and six months later.
