Abstract

The current study investigated an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based program for veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and comorbid depressive symptoms. The findings showed statistically significant pre-post improvement in PTSD and depression. The study also investigated pretreatment depression and substance cravings as possible mediators of treatment outcome.
