Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will recruit 24 participants to complete pre-test measures, participate in a 3 hour therapy session of Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), and then re-test one week post treatment and 6 months follow up.

If participants do not report a "good result" following the 3 hour session, the investigators will offer a 1.5 hour follow up session Participants will receive free therapy for their participation, but will not be paid.

Participants will be men and women over the age of 18 who do not have a diagnosis of psychosis and are not actively suicidal and have experienced a single rape at least 3 months before enrolling in the study.

Sessions will be audio recorded and transcribed for construct validity (of RRT). Identifying in formation will be removed by the study coordinator before transcripts are coded for validity.

This study proposes to use the same methods as Rothbaum et al (2005) published in Journal of Traumatic Stress that compares Prolonged Exposure to Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD Rape Victims. The investigators will compare our results to theirs. Both of their treatments were 8 sessions, and this study's treatment is one. They also include data for a control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Rapid Resolution Therapy

RRT is a talk therapy that uses Neurolinguistic Programming Language and trance states to cause a shift in how the mind is processing incoming data.

The understanding is that the part of the mind that is causing the disturbing emotion, thought or sensation is causing them to cause the person to take an action to ensure the organisms survival. RRT therapists employ psycho-therapeutic techniques taht are designed to cause the mind to process information differently so that the disturbing content and distorted meaning shift.
