This manuscript describes early work to develop a cognitive-behavioral therapy protocol for returning OEF/OIF Veterans with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorders (AUD). Based on the unique characteristics of this population, and on the literature supporting cognitive behavioral coping skills and significant other involvement for both PTSD and for AUD, the new therapy involves both of those components. The paper includes brief descriptions of two patients who were successfully treated with this approach. Although preliminary, these case studies suggest that cognitive-behavioral therapy enhanced by significant other involvement may be a promising approach for OEF/OIF Veterans with PTSD-AUD.
本手稿描述了为患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和酒精使用障碍（AUD）的伊拉克自由行动/持久自由行动退伍军人开发认知行为疗法方案的早期工作。基于该人群的独特特征，以及支持认知行为应对技能以及PTSD和AUD中重要他人参与的文献，新疗法包含了这两个组成部分。本文简要描述了两名成功接受该方法治疗的患者。尽管是初步的，但这些案例研究表明，有重要他人参与强化的认知行为疗法可能是治疗患有PTSD-AUD的伊拉克自由行动/持久自由行动退伍军人的一种有前景的方法。
