The authors outline some fundamental points concerning the long-term outcomes after 12 months. According to the review, the effects were unstable after 12 months of treatment. As suggested by the authors, the natural progression of this work is to examine the variable associated with treatment response as this would help to optimize the treatment.

•• Belsher BE, Beech E, Evatt D, Smolenski DJ, Shea MT, Otto JL, et al. Present-centered therapy (PCT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults. Cochrane Libr . 2019;2019(11). Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd012898.pub2. This is a recent meta-analysis compares present-centered therapy (PCT) with trauma-focused CBT(TCBT) and other control conditions. This is an important review as PCT is considered as non-directive psychotherapy for PTSD and was designed as a placebo treatment. The intervention focuses on developing hope, optimism and positive regard. Though PCT is distinct from other forms of psychotherapy, it is interesting to note that PCT has been shown to be effective in improving PTSD symptoms. Additionally, this review provides important insight on dropout rates as the authors found that dropout were significantly lower as compared to TCBT.

J Affect Disord. 2020;277:800–9. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2020.09.009. This paper is important because it is the first randomized controlled pilot trial to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a promising new social rhythm-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBSRT) in combat veterans with PTSD. According to social rhythm hypothesis of mood disorders, dysregulated mood are a resulted of poor circadian rhythm. Veteran with PTSD have major sleep disturbances. Therefore, to address the need CBSRT was designed to improve the sleep disturbances. The authors did find that individuals assigned to the CBSRT group have significant reductions in the frequency of nightmares as compared to individuals randomized to PCT, but not overall PTSD symptoms.

Available from: https://doi.org/10.1177/0361684320953120. This is the first RCT addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) among women with a higher rate of PTSD. The authors investigate a unique treatment to address such needs for the sample. The treatment focuses on empowering women living in the shelters by teaching CBT based skills including cognitive restructuring, managing triggers improving relationships, assertiveness, anger management goal setting and safety planning. The finding from the papers indicates that such training are effective for IPV survivors residing in shelter.

This article is important mainly for two reasons: it examines the efficacy of a brief CBT for targeting SAD amongst medical students and it is the only RCT of those included in this meta-analysis that was conducted in an Asian country. Although various studies have examined the prevalence of SAD among different populations, data regarding SAD amongst medical students are scarce. Therefore, this study is an important addition contributing to the extant literature.
