TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Treating complex trauma in women within community mental health JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Chaikin, Nicole D. A1 - Prout, Maurice F. SP - 160 EP - 173 VL - 74 IS - 2 N2 - Community mental health clinicians are likely to find their case loads composed of women who have complicated trauma histories. In response to the absence of comprehensive treatment for trauma survivors within the community mental health system, an alternative model, Overcoming Pain and Adversity in Life (OPAL) is offered. As an intensive treatment program, OPAL is structured in a triphase format to accommodate the individual needs of each woman and to promote symptom reduction and/or resolution.
