The goal of this study is to evaluate an integrated psychotherapy for PTSD and substance use disorders among female victims of intimate partner violence. The hypothesis is that women who receive present-focused, integrated treatment will have greater PTSD symptom reduction and have less substance use post-treatment than women in the control condition who will receive supportive therapy based on a 12-step approach.
