Abstract
Psychological inflexibility (PI) is implicated in the etiology of posttraumatic stress (PTS); however the dynamic relationship between PI and PTS remains unexplored. Using a novel extension of the Bivariate Latent Difference Model, this study examined the impact of early changes in PI on subsequent changes in PTS among military veterans.
