About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether which types of integrative care, meaning a combination of psychotherapy and mind-body interventions, lead to the most changes in functioning among Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The main aims are:

1. To evaluate the impact of integrative care approaches on functional outcomes among Veterans with PTSD. 2. To examine factors relevant to the implementation of integrated treatments for PTSD from the perspective of patients, providers and administrators in the VA Healthcare System.

Participants will:

1. Complete assessments at the beginning of the study and 12- and 24-weeks later. 2. Engage in 12 weeks of integrated care, with the type being randomly assigned.
