Quasi Experimental

Closed process groups (15 sessions) cofacilitated by experienced post-MSW female social workers within a generalist problem-solving framework were offered to 115 survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This quasi-experimental study compared group work intervention with a waiting-list comparison group on measures of depression and self-esteem. Survivors who completed the group work intervention (86.6%) were significantly less depressed and had significantly improved self-esteem as compared with their wait-listed counterparts. Consistent across the three outcome measures at immediate posttest, nearly three quarters of the intervention group members' scores were less than the waiting-list group's average score. At 6-month follow-up (75.6% completed), the positive effects tended to be even larger.

Main Factors

Preservation of mental health in old age is an important area of research in modern psychology and psychiatry. The article discusses possible reasons for the decline in mental health of elderly people and the search for factors that would contribute to the preservation of mental health in the post-labor period. It is noted that a significant role herein is given to environmental factors. The study showed that self-acceptance, acceptance of others, internality, optimal level of self-esteem (adequacy), moderate external activity, self-realization, emotional comfort, optimistic attitude to the future, interest in social problems are the main factors of mental health preservation in old age. Women are more socialized in society than men, so men are more likely to be at risk.

Sexual abuse in children is a common problem. The Department of Psychological Medicine at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, have developed a treatment approach based on six sessions of small group work with sexually abused young children. It is evident that they have considerable experience and have produced a training package to help other professionals working in this field. The package consists of a video, detailed manual and flash-cards. The video begins with a brief introduction to the whole subject. The major portion of the tape is given over to clinical illustrations from sessions and these are briefly commented on. The tape shows the children progressing and the staff coping with problems such as shyness. At the end of the tape there is a discussion between the presenter (Dr E. Vizard) and Dr A. Bentovim about the project and its successes, failures and limitations. They also discuss how the group work fits in with other treatment strategies.
