Wellbeing therapy as a part of rehabilitation in psychotrauma treatment

Evidence-based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) are available and have been widely implemented. However, there is considerable risk for relapse and until date no effective relapse prevention programs have been developed. A promising approach is to focus on positive mental health or well-being in the rehabilitation phase (after treatment of the PTSD). For several common mental disorders it has been shown that well-being therapy reduces the risk for relapse, has a positive impact on well-being and resilience and further reduces symptomatology. In the research project we want to study the effects of an adapted well-being therapy as rehabilitation for people who have been treated for PTSD.
