Single-session behavioral treatment of earthquake-related posttraumatic stress disorder : a randomized waiting list controlled trial . In an attempt to develop a brief treatment for disaster survivors , the present study examined the effectiveness of a single session of modified behavioral treatment in earthquake-related posttraumatic stress disorder . Fifty-nine earthquake survivors in Turkey were randomized into either single-session modified behavioral treatment ( SSBT ) designed to enhance sense of control over earthquake-related fears or waiting list control condition ( WL ) . The WL group received SSBT after a second baseline assessment . Follow-ups were at weeks 6 , 12 , 24 , and at 1-2 years posttreatment . Significant treatment effects were found on all measures at posttreatment . The improvement rate was 49 % at week 6 ; it rose to 80 % by week 12 , 85 % by week 24 , and 83 % by the 1-2-year follow-up . Brief behavioral treatment has promise as a cost-effective intervention for disaster survivors .
