Living Into The Story: Agency And Coherence In A Longitudinal Study Of Narrative Identity Development And Mental Health Over The Course Of Psychotherapy, Jonathan M. Adler

Moreover, as the number of trauma types increased among youth in residential care, so did the rates of impairment. Pretreatment and post-treatment rates of impairment significantly decreased in both groups; however, nearly …
