Abstract

In this study, the authors investigated changes in attachment orientation after treatment in an inpatient program for adults with posttraumatic stress disorder. The authors also examined the association between these changes and symptom reduction. Results indicated that secure attachment increased significantly over treatment in comparison to a wait list group, and this change was maintained over the 6 months after discharge. Positive changes were also noted in the underlying attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance. Furthermore, positive changes in attachment were found to be associated with symptom reduction during treatment and maintenance of these reductions after discharge. These results have potential implications for the goals of psychotherapeutic intervention in general and for the utility of specialized inpatient trauma treatment specifically.

  • Muller and Rosenkranz found an increase in self-reported attachment security immediately and 6 months after an 8-week inpatient treatment program for adults with PTSD compared to a wait-list group.

    “Muller and Rosenkranz [30] evaluated the effect of an 8-week inpatient treatment program for adults with PTSD. They also found an increase in self-reported attachment security immediately and 6 months after treatment in comparison to a wait-list group.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
