A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Participants will attend 14 weekly group MCT sessions delivered at a specialized psychiatric clinic in Stockholm with broadly inclusive recruitment and minimal exclusion criteria. Primary outcomes focus on feasibility and acceptability, including recruitment and retention rates, data completeness, treatment adherence, and qualitative feedback from participants. Secondary outcomes will measure preliminary changes in PTSD, complex PTSD, depressive symptoms, and quality of life, and will compare dropout rates to those reported for exposure-based PTSD treatments. Outcomes will be measured from pre-treatment to post-treatment and at a 6-month follow-up.
