title: Treating veteran posttraumatic stress disorder using the Comprehensive Resource Model.
abstract: The Comprehensive Resource Model is a groundbreaking psychotherapeutic treatment modality with broad possibilities for use with the military veteran population.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  This article describes a clinical case example where this modality was used with a veteran presenting with severe PTSD symptoms.
  
  
  METHODS
  Six 60-75 minute treatment sessions are described. Symptoms were measured before and after treatment and at a two-year follow-up using the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, and Clinical Global Impression scale.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Findings showed that the treatment was effective at relieving symptoms of dissociation and flashbacks, even after two years. Some symptoms remained such as hypersensitivity to loud noises.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Comprehensive Resource Model, specifically the Resource Energy Grid, provided a safe, effective way to treat some very challenging symptoms. Studies on larger sample sizes would be necessary for generalizability. An Appendix by the spouse of the subject provides additional support for the findings.
