简要总结
This study aims to test a brief family intervention (the BFI) to enhance individually-delivered PTSD treatment for Veterans.
详细描述
The investigators will enroll pairs of Veterans and one adult family member who lives with them. Veterans will be beginning a course of PTSD-focused treatment at the Boston VA; Veterans' treatment will not be limited or changed by their participation in this study.
Family members will receive or not receive (depending on which Phase of the study they are recruited in) the BFI. The BFI consists of 2 sessions in which the family member meets one-on-one with a clinician to discuss PTSD, PTSD treatment, and how families can be most helpful to patients in treatment.
Veterans and family members will also be interviewed about their opinions and experiences regarding family-inclusive treatment for PTSD. Clinicians will be recruited and enrolled to obtain their information and feedback (via qualitative interviews), and to deliver the intervention in Phase II.
