简要总结
Study examining the effectiveness of 16 weeks of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
详细描述
Evaluation study of IFS therapy among trauma-impacted adults in order to explore the applicability of IFS with this population, ensure fidelity of treatment administration, and examine initial efficacy. Evaluate the utility of IFS in reducing symptoms of PTSD, dissociation and depression and increasing self-regulatory capacity, self-awareness and self-compassion. 15 subjects between the ages of 18 and 56 who are receiving 16, 90-minute sessions of IFS therapy by certified IFS practitioners in the community will be recruited for this evaluation study. Blind evaluators will assess treatment effects at pre-treatment, mid-treatment, post-treatment and at one-month follow-up, measuring change in symptoms of PTSD, dissociation and depression, as well as self-regulation, self-compassion, and interoceptive awareness.
