Abstract
(type = abstract)
A significant number of veterans of all generations are affected by Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to combat experiences as well as other traumatic events. While veterans with PTSD may benefit significantly from the evidence-based treatments available, this population in particular can face numerous obstacles to care, including avoidance of distressing traumatic memories, the impact of stigma, beliefs about psychological treatment, and minimization of the severity and impact of PTSD symptoms. To address these obstacles in the context of individual therapy, the present study used a pragmatic single-case study design to examine the implementation and impact of a Motivational Interviewing (MI) intervention delivered as a pretreatment prior to one veteran’s participation in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD. In a manner consistent with MI principles and therapeutic techniques, the pretreatment sought to help the veteran explore ambivalence about treatment, identify and strengthen personal reasons for change, and bolster self-efficacy related to his ability to work toward valued change goals. The present study explored the process of integrating MI with CPT and the resulting impact on one Vietnam War veteran’s motivation, engagement, and compliance with treatment. In addition, the question of whether MI served to enhance CPT treatment gains with regard to trauma-related symptoms and overall functioning was addressed. Qualitative and quantitative results suggested that the MI pretreatment was associated with improved intrinsic motivation consistent with values espoused by the veteran, which in turn impacted the course of subsequent therapy. In addition, it appeared that the moment-to-moment utilization of MI interventions throughout the process of CPT likely served to enhance client engagement in treatment, although the relationship to homework compliance was less clear. While the impact of MI on the veteran’s experience of trauma-related symptoms and functioning could not be isolated within the present study, the impact of the veteran’s pursuit of identified values-consistent goals on PTSD and related symptoms and functioning is discussed.
