Consistent with the motivational model of alcohol use, women with SA histories may consume alcohol to both downregulate negative emotions and upregulate positive ones. The present event-level study used a Bayesian multilevel moderated mediation approach to examine t...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with psychosocial impairments, which represent a relevant focus for therapy.

There is strong empirical evidence that a reduction of trauma cognitions lessens PTSD symptoms, but there are discrepancies, including evidence that baseline negative posttrauma cognitions are associated with more, less, or are not associated with changes in PTSD symptoms. Discrepancies may be a function of power, sample size, analytic method, or m...
