Abstract

The transdiagnostic approach to PTSD treatment targets the drivers of symptomology rather than the symptoms. Transdiagnostic therapy significantly reduced PTSD symptoms and underlying drivers. Situational avoidance and several forms of repetitive negative thinking were significantly correlated with PTSD symptoms before therapy and in pre-post therapy improvements, supporting the transdiagnostic approach.
