Group Therapy for Survivors of Childhood Abuse



This study, "The efficacy of group treatment for survivors of childhood abuse," examined change in relation to a feminist model for group therapy. The focus of the group was for each individual to “tell their story” in a safe and supportive environment. The group is led by two co-therapists, with six-eight individuals. Each group meets for two and half hours weekly for 10 to 12 weeks. Individual therapy was allowed concurrently as needed.
