Abstract	This study examines the implications of bilingualism for psychotherapy. The study explores the possible advantages of using one language over another in the course of psychotherapy. The researcher analyzed the treatment outcomes for 30 bilingual patients diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Each of the bilingual patients had a fluent understanding of English as a second language, which was the language used for the initial round of therapy. The results were compared to a second round of therapy which was conducted using their native language and a control group of 30 monolingual speakers, also diagnosed with PTSD
