From Mechanism Identification to Clinical Utility: A Translational Process Model of Emotion-Regulation Flexibility In PTSD

We present results a four-stage translational model;1)identify regulatory-flexibility deficit as a key PTSD mechanism.2)develop a brief scalable protocol.3)following protocol administration in healthy individuals-show flexibility mechanism is improved and linked to enhanced well-being.4)preliminary evidence from protocol administration in a randomized-controlled PTSD trial-show flexibility mechanism is improved and linked to symptom reduction.
