Relationship between change in in-vivo exposure distress and PTSD symptoms during exposure therapy for active duty soldiers

ConclusionResults suggest the possibility that in-vivo exposures are more closely tied to changes in overall PTSD symptoms than imaginal exposures during exposure therapy. Furture research should incorporate more frequent measurement of in-vivo exposure distress to better elucidate these relations over the course of treatment.
