LANG ACCEPT &amp; COMMIT THERAPY: THERE IS A STRONG NEED FOR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF THE COMPLEX ARRAY OF PROBLEMS THAT FOLLOW COMBAT, AND MANY VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL PREFER TO AVOID THE USE OF MEDICATIONS. THIS ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT) STUDY, DIRECTED BY DR. A.

FURTHERMORE, THE RESEARCHERS WILL ALSO EXAMINE THE ACCEPTABILITY OF ACT AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH IMPROVEMENTS ARE MAINTAINED AFTER TREATMENT.</Description>
