Is dissociation predicting the efficacy of psychological therapies for PTSD? Results from a randomized controlled trial comparing Dialectical Behavior Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines whether pretreatment dissociation levels influence the efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in women with childhood abuse-related PTSD. The study analyzes data from 193 participants to determine if baseline dissociation predicts treatment outcomes measured by the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale. Findings indicate that higher initial dissociation negatively predicts efficacy, while early reduction in dissociation supports better subsequent outcomes.
