This study is comparing two types of therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in post-9/11 Veterans. One therapy is called Partnered Prolonged Exposure (PPE), which involves both the Veteran and their partner in some sessions. The other is standard Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, which is for the Veteran only. The study aims to see if involving a partner can improve treatment results, especially for overall well-being and daily functioning. Researchers will measure changes in your psychosocial functioning using a tool called the Inventory of Psychosocial Functioning (IPF) at several points during and after treatment. You may be eligible if you are a post-9/11 Veteran with a PTSD diagnosis, are in a committed relationship, and meet other health criteria. The study plans to enroll 420 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study comparing two behavioral therapies, Partnered Prolonged Exposure (PPE) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), with a planned enrollment of 420 participants.
