Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) for PTSD - a case series -
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Clients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) represent a significant problem to the US Military and Veterans Administration. Upwards of 30 percent go on to life-long chronicity with or without treatment (Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, 1995). Most mainline treatments are not meeting the needs of our veterans and active duty warriors. The current case study describes four individuals previously diagnosed with PTSD who volunteered for treatment in a waitlist RCT of a brief, non-traumatizing intervention, Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM). These individuals completed five 90-min sessions of RTM. In the larger study 96% (25/26) of treated clients no longer met diagnostic criteria for PTSD at the end of treatment, with these gains maintained at 6- and 26-week posttreatment. Implications for delivery of RTM and its further investigation are discussed.
