Abstract
We estimated a PTSD symptom network to examine its relationship to treatment outcomes. Results demonstrated that symptom centrality was strongly correlated with the association between node change and network change. This suggests that network analysis identifies key symptoms which may be drivers of, or efficiently targeted by, the treatment process.
