Sudden gains in cognitive processing therapy with and without behavioral activation among service members with comorbid PTSD and MDD
Sudden gains—large, rapid, and stable symptom reductions during treatment—are associated with better patient outcomes. Little is known about sudden gains among patients with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), yet better understanding of sudden gains in this population may improve treatment of this comorbidity. This study evaluated sudden gains in PTSD and depression symptoms and their association with treatment outcomes among active duty service members with comorbid PTSD and MDD (N = 94) who were randomized to behavioral activation-enhanced cognitive processing therapy (BA + CPT) or CPT alone. Outcomes were interviewer-rated PTSD and depression severity at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. PTSD and depression sudden gains occurred in 19 % and 27 % of the sample, respectively. Multilevel modeling showed sudden gains in depression symptoms were associated with clinically and statistically significant improvements in PTSD (p < .001) and depression severity (p < .001) outcomes. PTSD sudden gains were not associated with PTSD (p = .137) or depression (p = .187) outcomes. Improvements in both PTSD and depression outcomes following sudden depression gains may highlight the importance of depression symptom change during treatment as a prognostic marker of outcomes in this comorbid population.
期刊介绍:
The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-derived predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will not consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement, psychometric analyses, and personality assessment.
