Unfinished business: A grounded theory analysis of change among individuals classified as numerical non‐responders to psychodynamic psychotherapy for post‐traumatic stress disorder related to childhood maltreatment
What is often labelled as numerical nonresponse in PTSD-CM may reflect a dynamic interplay of emerging improvement and emotional distress that needs more time to unfold. Moreover, the results underscore the value of integrating qualitative, patient-reported outcomes into treatment evaluation and relationship-focused treatment tailored to patients' individual needs.
