Summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the medication paroxetine on symptoms
of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the brain in women with a history of PTSD related
to childhood abuse. The hypothesis is that paroxetine will result in an improvement in PTSD
symptoms accompanied by changes in brain functional response to reminders of childhood
trauma.
