Abstract
The purpose of this case study was twofold: to assess the feasibility of implementing a multiple-module, 16-week cognitive behavioral group treatment program for physically abused children; and to evaluate preliminary data from this group treatment program designed to address the multiple sequelae common to school-aged physically abused children (i.e., aggression and other behavioral problems, social skills deficits, and trauma-related symptoms). Results indicate that the multiple components of this group treatment program were implemented successfully and allowed for flexibility across children, even within a group format. Preliminary data show decreases on self-report measures of trauma-related emotional symptoms targeted by the group treatment. Increases were evident in parent ratings of children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Interpretations of these findings and future research recommendations are discussed.
