An investigation of trauma-centered inpatient treatment for adult survivors of abuse

The psychological and social impact of female genital mutilation: A holistic conceptual framework

“…To enhance resilience, the authors recommend that there is need for increased and flexible social and psychological support for FGM survivors, in the form of individual and group therapy.

Trauma Severity, Poly-victimization, and Treatment Response: Adults in an Inpatient Trauma Program

“…The overall efficacy of the PTSR has been demonstrated in several studies conducted by two laboratories examining different treatment samples (Muller and Rosenkranz 2009;Stalker et al 2005;Rosenkranz and Muller 2011;Wright and Woo 2000;Wright et al 2003). These studies reported that symptoms generally decline to a moderate level over the course of the program, suggesting that clients are better equipped to be assisted by outpatient therapy following their discharge.…”

“…Included in this body of work are the studies of two separate research labs that examined the program investigated in the current study with three different patient samples and reported improvements at discharge in overall level of psychiatric symptoms (Stalker et al 2005), PTSD symptoms (Stalker et al 2005;Rosenkranz and Muller 2011;Wright and Woo 2000;Wright et al 2003), and attachment orientation (Muller and Rosenkranz 2009). These studies reported overall maintenance of treatment gains at 6-months and 1-year follow-up.…”

The Relationship between Personality Disorder Features and Symptom Improvement at an Inpatient Treatment Program for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

“…Previous evaluations of the program investigated in this study (Program for Traumatic Stress Recovery; PTSR) also indicated positive findings. The program has been studied by two research labs that have found improvements in symptoms of PTSD, overall psychiatric symptoms, hopelessness, and attachment orientation (Kraftcheck, Muller, & Wright, 2007;Muller & Rosenkranz, 2009;Rosenkranz & Muller, 2011;Stalker, Palmer, Wright, & Gebotys, 2005;Wright, Woo, Muller, Fernandes, & Kraftcheck, 2003).…”
