Veterans

Veterans who suffered both traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have found relief from their trauma symptoms using accelerated resolution therapy (ART) in an average of four sessions, and at about the same rate as those who did not have brain injuries, according to a recent study published in Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, a journal of professional studies and articles.

The findings indicate that ART, an innovative and rapid treatment for psychological trauma, is a suitable treatment for a significant and growing population of veterans who are coping from the effects of brain injuries and PTSD, according to principal investigator, Dr. Kevin E. Kip, a professor of epidemiology at the University of South Florida, College of Public Health.
