Aim • Provide overview of cognitive processing therapy (CPT). • Review empirical and efficacy data supporting CPT’s use in various settings. • Relevance • CPT is an evidence-based treatment shown to be effective at treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in randomized controlled trials.
Methods • VA Office of Mental Health Services has implemented initiative to disseminate CPT. • Part of broad effort to make evidence-based psychotherapies widely available in VA healthcare system. • We report on: • Survey data from individuals who have participated in this initiative. • Outcome data from patients treated by rollout-trained therapists.
Results • Initial data: • Most clinicians trained in CPT have adopted it as part of their standard clinical practice. • Patients are showing solid improvements in PTSD and depression symptoms.
Conclusions • Continued research on and evaluation of CPT’s effectiveness, mode of delivery, and real-world implementation will improve quality of care for PTSD and evidence-based treatment accessibility for all veterans.
