This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different ways to deliver trauma-focused therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults who have experienced multiple traumatic events. One group will receive intensive treatment—five days of therapy packed into two weeks—while another group will receive the same therapy spread out over weekly sessions. Researchers want to see which approach works better at reducing PTSD symptoms and costs less overall.
Many people with PTSD from multiple traumas struggle to find effective first-line treatment. This trial exists to see whether delivering the treatment more intensively in a short time might help people recover faster and reduce the overall burden on healthcare systems and society.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the intensive or weekly treatment group. The intensive group will attend two preparation sessions, then five full days of therapy within two weeks, followed by two closing sessions. The weekly group will receive the same total therapy content but spread across weekly appointments. Either way, you will complete questionnaires and interviews five times over nine months to track your progress.
