abstract="Fifty-three female adults with a history of child sexual abuse (CSA) were assessed to determine whether Cognitive Processing Therapy for Sexual Abuse (CPT-SA) affects cognitive distortions. CPT-SA is a 17-week manualized treatment designed to alleviate cognitive distortions as well as symptoms of PTSD and depression. At the initial assessment, 28 subjects were assigned to treatment, while 25 subjects entered a minimal-attention condition. Participants were assessed at pretreatment, posttreatment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up. The authors examined the correlation between PTSD severity, subscales of the Personal Beliefs and Reactions Scale (PBRS), and higher-order scales of the World Assumptions Scale (WAS). Most PBRS subscales were significantly correlated with PTSD severity at all assessment periods. Paired samples t tests indicated significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment severity of distortions on both the PBRS and WAS for participants completing treatment. No significant differences in distortions were found between postassessment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up points. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Behavior Therapy, 2001.
