Community Therapeutic Intervention for Women Healing from Trauma
McWhirter, Paula T.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v31 n4 p339-351 Dec 2006
This article investigates a community-based group therapy intervention designed to address specific needs of women in transition as compared to women also in transition, engaged in a traditional, nonclinical women's program. Both interventions were found to increase social network size, decrease social isolation, and decrease financial stress. The group therapy intervention participants also reported increased self-efficacy beliefs. These findings suggest a need to integrate a group therapy intervention into traditional social service facilities that serve women during times of major life transition. (Contains 2 tables.)
