Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Perinatal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Pregnant women with a primary diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) score \> 33) will be randomized to receive conventional cognitive processing therapy (CPT) (60-min session once/week for 12 weeks) or massed CPT (mCPT) (an intensive schedule of 12 60-min sessions over 5 days, approximately 2-3 sessions per day) via telemedicine, for treatment of PTSD. The research aims will be three-fold: (1) Evaluate the relative efficacy and tolerability of CPT vs. mCPT for treatment of perinatal PTSD and depression; (2) Determine the effect of CPT upon maternal-infant attachment and interaction; (3) Collect pilot data of obstetric and neonatal outcomes among those receiving the two CPT delivery schedules.
