: Intensive treatment could be effective for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). : The aim of the study was to test the feasibility of an 8-day (2-week) intensive outpatient treatment for PTSD. : Treatment each day consisted of individual Prolonged Exposure (PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and psychoeducation and physical activity in groups. Patients met different therapists from session to session. : Six patients started and completed treatment. Levels of attendance of sessions was high. Patients reported that they were satisfied with the treatment, describing it as emotionally taxing, but meaningful. Therapists also described several positive aspects of the treatment format. There were large reductions in PTSD symptoms. : Given these promising, but preliminary findings on the programme's feasibility, future research should investigate this treatment format using larger samples and controlled designs.
强化治疗可能对创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）患者有效。本研究旨在检验为期 8 天（2 周）的 PTSD 强化门诊治疗的可行性。每天的治疗包括个体延长暴露（PE）、眼动脱敏与再处理（EMDR）、团体心理教育和体育活动。患者每次治疗会遇到不同的治疗师。6 名患者开始并完成了治疗。治疗的出勤率很高。患者报告说他们对治疗很满意，称其情感上有压力，但很有意义。治疗师也描述了治疗模式的几个积极方面。创伤后应激障碍症状有了很大的减轻。鉴于该方案在可行性方面的这些有希望但初步的发现，未来的研究应该使用更大的样本和对照设计来调查这种治疗模式。
