Randomized Controlled TrialPartner accommodation moderates treatment outcomes for couple therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder.
Partner accommodation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (i.e., altering one's own behaviors to minimize patient distress and/or relationship conflict due to patients' PTSD symptoms) has been shown to be positively associated with patient and partner psychopathology and negatively associated with patient and partner relationship satisfaction cross-sectionally. However, the prognostic value of partner accommodation in treatment outcomes is unknown. The goals of the present study were to determine if partner accommodation decreases as a function of couple therapy for PTSD and if pretreatment partner accommodation moderates the efficacy of couple therapy for PTSD. ⋯ Individuals with PTSD who have more accommodating partners may be particularly well-suited for couple therapy for PTSD.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study Controlled Clinical TrialMediators of change in the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Treatment Study.
Test changes in (a) coping efficacy and (b) anxious self-talk as potential mediators of treatment gains at 3-month follow-up in the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Treatment Study (CAMS). ⋯ The findings suggest that improvements in coping efficacy are a mediator of treatment gains. Anxious self-talk did not emerge as a mediator.
