“It didn't fit for me:” A qualitative examination of dropout from prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapy in veterans.
Overview
This qualitative study investigates self-reported reasons for dropout among veterans undergoing prolonged exposure or cognitive processing therapy for PTSD. Through interviews with 28 participants, the authors identify therapy-related barriers, such as lack of buy-in and alliance issues, alongside practical obstacles and perceived stress as primary factors. The resource aims to inform healthcare providers about these experiences to potentially improve treatment delivery and retention.
