Abstract

This study describes the development and implementation of a parenting psychotherapy group that utilized Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and parenting psychoeducation for veterans with PTSD. Initial results from a small sample of veterans who completed both pre- and post-treatment measures indicated improvements in positive parenting behavior, parenting satisfaction, and psychological flexibility. Qualitative data also suggested that the veterans benefited from the treatment. The authors offer recommendations for the use of this type of group therapy to address the parenting needs of both veteran and non-veteran parents with mental health concerns.
