Abstract

This study examined the initial feasibility of delivering Compassion Meditation (CM) for veterans with PTSD administered via telemental health (TMH). Initial findings suggest that TMH group therapy is a viable alternative to in-person treatment and has important implications for implementation of complementary and alternative treatments.
