Group therapy in the treatment of childhood sexual abuse
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Group psychotherapy for adults reporting childhood sexual abuse is a well recognised form of treatment but little attention has been given to the possible adverse effects. This paper reports on three patients seen within a NHS trust department of psychotherapy who had taken part in an incest ‘survivor group’. They described individual satisfaction with their improvement but appeared, when viewed externally, to have deteriorated.
