The Secretary's Commission On Opportunity In Athletics Squandered Its Opportunity: Commercial College Sports And Why Title Ix Cannot Achieve Full Gender Equality Or Prevent The Elimination Of Minor Men's Teams, Suzanne Sangree

The intervention was based on a two-stage model of trauma treatment and included Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and writing assignments.
