Abstract
The psychoeducational group Clergy Wife Wings (CWW) shows good potential in helping non-clergy women married to clergymen to move towards alleviation of ministry-related stress. Qualitative analysis of written documents from group members, leader, and observer reveals themes supporting efficacy and identifying specific strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions. Quantitative analyses of pre and post-group measures on adapted clergy-wife stress instruments do not suggest effectiveness. CWW's theoretical foundations draw from Palmer and Dryden's multimodal model of stress that utilizes A. A. Lazarus's BASIC ID modalities. Methodology consists of formative evaluation of CWW in its first implementation.
