Generic behavioral couple/family therapy with Veterans and families: – 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) yielded improved relationship functioning but variable PTSD improvements. Disorder-specific therapy: – Some data support efficacy in couples, but no group-level data yet for Veterans with PTSD. Cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy: – Uncontrolled trials and ongoing RCT indicate it ameliorates PTSD symptoms, enhances intimate relationship satisfaction, improves partners’ individual mental health and well-being.

More research needed on optimal delivery mode, for example: – Conjoint therapy delivered to individual dyads. – Group of dyads. – Via telehealth methodologies. – Paired with individual therapy.
