| Popis: | The goal of this systematic review was to examine the empirical literature on cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy for PTSD (CBCT). The aims were to (1) review the efficacy of CBCT for PTSD, relationship satisfaction, and related symptoms; (2) describe novel adaptations to the treatment; and (3) identify potential moderators and mediators of treatment outcomes. A systematic search of peer-reviewed publications was conducted across three databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, and SCOPUS). Relevant publications were rated by two authors using a validated checklist. Fourteen articles met inclusion criteria. Quality ratings ranged from “fair” to “good”. The majority of studies were uncontrolled designs; no studies compared CBCT to an active control condition. Three studies adapted standard CBCT. Nearly all studies found improvements in patient- and partner-rated PTSD symptoms and patient depression, anxiety, and anger. Findings on relationship satisfaction and partner accommodation as outcomes were somewhat mixed. Baseline relationship satisfaction, partner accommodation, and social support moderated outcomes. Overall, CBCT has demonstrated initial efficacy for PTSD and comorbid problems. Future studies should examine moderators and mediators to answer how and for whom this treatment works. Controlled trials on novel adaptations to CBCT are also needed. |
