Intervention: group cognitive processing therapy
Population: adults with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, or mood disorders

  • Patients treated with individual cognitive processing therapy had greater improvements in post-traumatic stress disorder severity than group cognitive processing therapy (interpret with caution due to study quality and sample size)
  • One study suggests group cognitive behavioral therapy may be provided as adjunctive to, but not be considered an alternative to, individual trauma-focused therapy.
