Hybrid Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Veterans to Further Reduce Emotion Regulation Problems and Trauma Symptoms (REFRESH)

11. juni 2026 opdateret af: Arkin

REfreshment of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Veterans to Further Reduce Symptoms and Prevent Relapse of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Emotion Regulation Symptoms by Guided Self-Help

Around 10% of post-active veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) many years post-mission. PTSD in veterans is frequently associated with challenges in emotion regulation, aggression, suicidality, and financial and psychosocial stress. In 2018, a 12-week clinical treatment programme, the Veterans Intensive Treatment Unit (VIBU), was developed for veterans experiencing these psychiatric symptoms, for whom conventional treatments had proven ineffective. The VIBU provides patients with trauma-focused and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). A recent study revealed that the VIBU was effective in reducing psychiatric symptoms. However, a recurrence of symptoms was observed in patients a few months after discharge. Consequently, an aftercare programme consisting of hybrid DBT is offered to consolidate and repeat the DBT skills and apply them in daily life.

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Hybrid DBT
All participants will follow the same hybrid DBT program (i.e., group sessions, individual sessions and online homework assignments). Randomization will determine the length of the waiting period between baseline and start of the intervention (i.e., hybrid DBT).
Hybrid DBT will be provided to veterans who have followed a 3-month inpatient DBT treatment. The hybrid DBT will include face-to-face skill groups, online individual sessions and online homework assignements.
