Distress Tolerance as a Predictor of Depressive and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in a Substance Use Disorder In-Patient Treatment Sample

 Distress Tolerance as a Predictor of Depressive and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in a Substance Use Disorder In-Patient Treatment Sample

Results demonstrated that DT significantly predicted both depressive symptoms and PSS.
