Table 1.
Participant demographics and clinical scores at the pre-intervention timepoint (baseline). Abbreviations: CAPS – Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (Normalized to CAPS-5), CTQ – Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, MDI – Multiscale Dissociation Inventory, MDD – Major Depressive Disorder. Bonferroni-corrected threshold for significant group differences is p = 0.05/5 = 0.01.
