Overview

Case study demonstrates cognitive therapy's effectiveness for PTSD in relatives of ICU patients, indicating unique challenges of PICS-F.

Key Points

  • At the end of treatment, the client no longer showed significant PTSD symptoms, supporting cognitive therapy's effectiveness in this context.
  • The treatment included 14 sessions focused on cognitive strategies and addressing disenfranchised grief related to the ICU experience.
  • Cognitive therapy for PTSD was adapted particularly for relatives of ICU patients, incorporating specific psychological insights and strategies.
  • This highlights the need for tailored therapeutic approaches when dealing with PTSD following critical care admissions.
