Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Meditation for Combat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial and Mechanistic Study
Abstract
To briefly summarize, our work consisted of a.) developing a novel group psychotherapy for combat-related PTSD incorporating Mind-Body techniques / Mindfulness meditation as well as non-trauma related experiential exposure techniques; b.) comparing this novel therapy against an already developed and well-characterized credible active control group therapy, called Present-Centered Group Therapy (PCGT) in clinical outcome trial at the VA Ann Arbor PTSD clinic; and c.) conducting a translational neuroimaging mechanistic study with pre- and post fMRI and neurocognitive testing.
