Mirrors & Windows: A Phenomenological Study On Narrative Group Therapy With Adults Survivors Of Childhood Interpersonal Trauma, Bethany Walker

This research study followed the eight phases of EMDR treatment, using a combination of resourcing, a series …

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

However, there are few specific interventions suggested and researched. Therefore, a directive was developed and utilized in group art therapy on a mood and psychotic disorders inpatient unit. The group …
