Summary
This study tests a type of talk therapy called Trauma-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (TFPP) for veterans with PTSD who haven't gotten better with standard VA treatments. About 75 veterans will be randomly assigned to receive either TFPP or usual care. The goal is to see if TFPP reduces PTSD symptoms more than standard treatment.
