Efficacy of interpersonal therapy-group format adapted to post-traumatic stress disorder: an open-label add-on trial

Abstract

IPT-G PTSD was effective not only in decreasing symptoms of PTSD, but also in decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression. It led to significant improvements in social adjustment and quality of life. It was well tolerated and there were few dropouts. Our results are very preliminary; they need further confirmation through randomized controlled clinical trials.
