TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Community Therapeutic Intervention for Women Healing from Trauma JO - Journal for specialists in group work A1 - McWhirter, Paula T. SP - 339 EP - 351 VL - 31 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
