- This study investigated the perspectives of Veterans and their romantic partners prior to beginning partner-involved treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Veterans (n = 20) and their partners (n = 20) were interviewed separately about how PTSD had affected their relationship; the Veteran’s treatment experience, if any; and how they felt about partner-involved treatment. 6 themes were identified. Overall, partners wanted to be involved in PTSD treatment to demonstrate support for their Veteran. Couples were willing to engage in partner-involved treatment and felt hopeful about the experience.
