✦ Synopsis

Veterans diagnosed with PTSD (PTSD in-treatment, N = 39), newly admitted to a comprehensive 9O-aby inpatient treatment program, were tracked at 4-week intervals from admission to discharge. Two control groups were abo tracked over 12-week periodsone of previously PTSD diagnosed and treated veterans (PTSD out-of-treatment, N = 26), and a second that combined non-PTSD Vietnam era veterans (N = 17) and non-veterans (N = 16) (non-PTSD nontreatment). As measured by the Penn Inventory for PTSD, 48% of those who completed treatment showed some or substantial gains, 39% showed no gain, and 13% reported some increase in symptoms at the time of dkchaGe. Several patterns were observed on other assessment measures. One year follow-up for those who completed treatment showed a return to pretreatment levels on the PTSD symptom measures employed in this study. These results are discussed in relation to other treatment program outcome studies as a baseline for further research.
