“…One implication of this is that focusing on the interpersonal ramifications of PTSD may be as helpful in alleviating PTSD symptoms as focusing on the traumatic experiences directly. A reason for this may be that PTSD symptoms are intrinsically interpersonal in nature (Janoff-Bulman, 1992; Yalch & Burkman, 2019). This idea is consistent with research suggesting that the problems with which PTSD is frequently comorbid (e.g., disorders of mood, anxiety, and substance use; see Bryant & Keane, 2013; Kramer, Polusny, Arbisi, & Krueger, 2014; Kruse, Steffen, Kimbrel, & Gulliver, 2011) also have interpersonal underpinnings (Flores, 2004; Saliani, Barcaccia, & Mancini, 2011; Segrin, 2011).…”
