Author: KliemSören, KrögerChristoph

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
Meta-AnalysisA statistical technique that integrates the results of multiple studies to draw more general conclusions about a particular issue.

Overview

This study examined the effectiveness of early trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TFCBT) in preventing long-term post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The review of 10 studies found that early TFCBT had a moderate effect in reducing the risk of developing PTSD, with smaller effects on PTSD symptoms and depression symptoms. The benefit of early TFCBT decreased over time, and the dropout rate was 16.7%. The study suggests that further research is needed, including comparing early TFCBT with other effective treatments and investigating its effectiveness for different types of trauma.
