First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experience psychotherapy. Researchers will interview 65 teens aged 12-18, along with their parents and therapists, to explore what helps them feel better. The goal is to learn more about the therapeutic process and the factors that lead to change, not to test a new drug or treatment.
