Group Therapies for PTSD in Veterans and Families

This study is looking at whether group therapy can help veterans, active duty military, and their family members who are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions. Researchers are comparing two types of group therapy: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). The goal is to see if these therapies reduce PTSD symptoms. You can join if you are between 18 and 80 years old, can follow instructions, read and understand English, and are physically healthy. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
