Part 1: The Effectiveness of Group Therapy and Individual Therapy for PTSD Treatment
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that develops in persons who have encountered an event that traumatizes them.
This disorder affects many individuals, making its treatment essential; the two most popular treatment modalities for PTSD patients are group therapy and individual therapy (Sripada et al., 2016).
Group therapy happens when health professionals place patients in different categories depending on their treatment needs and provide therapy in these groups.
Conversely, individual therapy occurs when each patient receives a different therapy session. Various studies have looked at the effectiveness of group therapy versus individual therapy as PTSD treatment options.
This information, however, is insufficient. As a result, the effectiveness of group therapy versus individual therapy in treating PTSD will be evaluated in this study.
PICO Question: In patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), does group therapy compared to individual therapy improve patient outcomes?
