The researchers in the studies I read weren't trying to induce structural changes.

From what I read it's just supposed to help people with PTSD to be able to open up and express what happened to them to the therapist. It's not a long term therapy. From what I understand, just 2-3 times until the events are out of the closet. Then the sufferer has to deal with the emotions on their own.
