Abstract
Topic:
An 18-month group-therapy experience with women partners of combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Purpose:
To describe the application of group process and feminist theory to the planning and development of a group of women partners of veterans with PTSD.
Source:
The authors' clinical work.
Conclusions:
Using group psychotherapy theory and feminist theory, the group content and process involved the themes of rescuing, dissociation, and individuation. The exploration of transference and countertransference were useful in facilitating individual as well as process.
