How Well Does Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Treat Symptoms of Complex PTSD? An Examination of Child Sexual Abuse Survivors Within A Clinical Trial
Overview
This paper examines whether brief cognitive-behavioral treatments for PTSD are effective for complex PTSD symptoms in a clinical trial involving female rape victims, many of whom had histories of child sexual abuse. The study compares cognitive-processing therapy and prolonged exposure against a waiting-list control, finding that both therapies significantly improved PTSD, depression, and complex PTSD symptoms over at least nine months. Results suggest that these cognitive-behavioral therapies are effective for patients with complex trauma histories, regardless of whether they had a specific history of child sexual abuse.
