TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - What works for survivors of childhood abuse: learning from participants in an inpatient treatment program JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Palmer, Sally A1 - Stalker, Carol A1 - Gadbois, Sue A1 - Harper, Kim SP - 112 EP - 121 VL - 74 IS - 2 N2 - Thirty adults were interviewed about their experiences in a 6-week program for recovery from posttraumatic stress. The most valued aspects were their relationships with staff and the staff's expertise in treating the long-term effects of abuse. They valued the structured group treatment that allowed them to process emotions with the goal of healing. A few were upset by process groups, whereas others had difficulty with the sudden loss of support at discharge from the program.
