Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 18 or older
* Current PTSD as diagnosed by the CAPS or subsyndromal PTSD (at least meeting criteria A and B) with distress and/or functional impairment as determined by the CAPS and review by study senior clinicians. Co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, or treated substance abuse or dependence problems are permitted.
* Individuals expected to deploy two or more months from the time of referral and/or assessment are eligible. Anyone deploying sooner than that would be unable to complete the entire intervention and thus, are ineligible. Potential enrollees need not be presently deployable.
* Prospective enrollees must be willing to commit to 8 consecutive weekly sessions lasting up to 90 minutes in duration and to complete assessment materials.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Serious suicidality or homicidality that has required urgent or emergent evaluation or treatment within the past three months.
* A known, untreated substance abuse or dependence problem. Inclusion is possible if there is evidence that the individual has been afforded and is complying with treatment for the substance problem.
* Serious Axis I mental disorders (those that are normally incompatible with active military service), such as psychotic disorders or bipolar type I, are not eligible.
* Cognitive impairment that would interfere with one's ability to complete the intervention. If a potential participant performs below the mildly impaired range on WAIS-IV Digit Span or CVLT-2, the study neuropsychologist will review the case and make a clinical judgment based on review of testing and, in some cases, additional evaluation as to ability to participate.
* Concurrent enrollment in any cognitive-behavioral treatment, group therapy, or any other treatment that involves systematic disclosure of troubling deployment-related memories. Participants can continue current pharmacological treatment, marital counseling, or any supportive therapy.
