This month College of Nursing researchers are hoping to begin a cutting-edge treatment study, funded by the U.S. Army, for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The College is now looking for 40 to 80 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to participate in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which researchers say can have instant success replacing traumatic images in PTSD patients.

A Therapy That Banishes the Horror
Excerpts from Hartford Courant Article | Susan Campbell
On that bright September day, Peter M. Gioia was at a conference in the ground floor ballroom of the Marriott that in a few minutes would become ground zero. There was a fierce noise, the room shook, and everyone ran out into a horror movie laced with the smell of burning hair. The next day, Gioia was back at work. And then things devolved. A beautiful day or the sound of a jet overhead or even the smell of gasoline put Gioia back in that scary movie, feeling the fireball’s blast, smelling the hair.
Over the next six plus years, he tried traditional therapy, hypnosis, anything to stop the real tape but nothing worked. But Gioia wanted relief and after one session with Rosenzweig, the pain simply went away.
