Why is it important?
Participants reported extremely severe PTSD and traumatic grief symptoms. During the treatment, PTSD severity and endorsement of a grief diagnosis (persistent complex bereavement disorder) among patients significantly declined.
Perspectives
We were glad to report promising treatment outcomes among severely affected patients, most of whom were refugees.
