Zusammenfassung:The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of one year of group psychotherapy in reducing the long-term psychological aftereffects of sexual assault. The treatment subjects were seven white, adult female victims who responded to standardized measures of psychological functioning at seven points throughout treatment. Evidence for treatment-related improvement of intrusions, fears, and depression were found. Variability in subject response, methodological weaknesses, and the change process are discussed.
