Read our PTSD research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a hybrid dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) program—a combination of group sessions, individual therapy, and online homework assignments—designed specifically for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and difficulty managing emotions. The program builds on skills veterans learned in an earlier intensive treatment program and helps them keep using those skills in their everyday lives to prevent symptoms from coming back.
Veterans who completed an intensive 12-week treatment program showed real improvement, but many noticed their symptoms returning months after finishing. This trial exists to see whether ongoing practice and reinforcement of the skills they learned can help them stay better long-term.

You will participate in the hybrid DBT program, which includes group therapy sessions where you learn and practice skills with other veterans, individual one-on-one therapy sessions with a therapist, and online homework assignments to help you practice skills at home. The study will randomly determine how long you wait before starting the program. Throughout participation, you'll use an online platform to communicate with your therapist and complete assignments—all designed to help you maintain the progress you've already made.
