Cognitive-Behavior Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) for PTSD has demonstrated efficacy among military couples in which the veteran is experiencing PTSD. Yet, no studies to date have investigated delivering CBCT online. This brief report aims to describe the feasibility of delivering CBCT online to UK military couples. Six military veterans and their partners received CBCT, delivered using an online video platform. They completed mental health measures at the start and end of treatment as well as 12-weeks follow-up. Data trends suggested reduced psychological distress and trauma symptoms as well as increased wellbeing of veterans and partners. On the individual level, most veterans (83.3%) demonstrated clinically significant reductions in PTSD symptoms. Therapist reflections suggested client acceptability of treatment and highlighted considerations for delivering CBCT online. Clinical implications and the need for further empirical investigation of online-delivered CBCT are discussed.
认知行为联合疗法（CBCT）治疗创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）已在退伍军人患有PTSD的军人家属中显示出疗效。然而，迄今为止尚无研究调查在线提供CBCT的情况。本简要报告旨在描述向英国军人家属在线提供CBCT的可行性。六名退伍军人及其伴侣接受了使用在线视频平台提供的CBCT。他们在治疗开始和结束时以及12周随访时完成了心理健康测量。数据趋势表明，退伍军人及其伴侣的心理困扰和创伤症状有所减轻，幸福感有所增强。在个体层面，大多数退伍军人（83.3%）的PTSD症状有临床显著减轻。治疗师的反馈表明患者对治疗的接受度，并强调了在线提供CBCT的注意事项。本文讨论了临床意义以及对在线提供CBCT进行进一步实证研究的必要性。
