Abstract
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the active duty and veteran population. This case study provides a thorough example of the use of this therapeutic modality with an active duty military service member who was exposed to several traumatic events. Over the course of 13 sessions, "Master Sergeant Smith," a middle-aged, White male, made significant progress on his treatment plan goals and reductions in PTSD symptoms. This case study describes the theoretical and research basis for treatment and course of treatment and illustrates the use of CPT in an outpatient setting while describing important areas of focus and how to overcome clinical challenges.
