Manualized group treatment of trauma among women using Energy Psychology
by Alcahe, Ana L., Psy.D., THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ROCKIES, 2009, 146 pages; 3344636

Abstract:

This dissertation presents an experiential manualized group treatment for women suffering from psychological trauma. The theoretical model in which it is based is a combination of Energy Psychology (EP) and techniques from non-Western systems of healing and spiritual development. This manual offers the advantage that as long as the EP format is followed, no full self understanding or disclosure is needed to achieve therapeutic results. It is intended for use by qualified mental health professionals trained in group process and EP therapy. Therapists applying this method are expected to honor the non-traditional techniques and diverse spiritual traditions mentioned in the sessions. It is the desire of the author to have EP practitioners research the effectiveness of this innovative treatment manual.
