With respect to physical rage episodes, the TMT group reported a significant decrease between pre- and mid-treatment, prior to the introduction of the SER component. A multicomponent behavioral treatment for social phobia: Social Effectiveness Therapy. Five participants were eliminated during the diagnostic evaluation due to the presence of other disorders including severe depression with suicidality (n = 2), antisocial personality disorder (n = 2) and a criminal history of sexual assault (n = 1). Unfortunately, this pattern of only modest treatment success actually represents an improvement over most prior treatment studies with male combat veterans suffering PTSD (Bradley et al., 2005). Finally, there was significant improvement on global assessments of illness severity, anxiety, and depression for veterans in both conditions, and just under half (44% TMT, 43% EXP) were classified as “treatment responders.” However, there were no differences between condition on any of these domains.Taken together, these results show that participants in both conditions tolerated and benefitted from exposure therapy, contributing to the growing literature attesting to its treatment benefits for reducing core PTSD symptoms in combat veterans with the disorder.
