Abstract

A short-term, cognitive group therapy intervention method ( Insight: A cognitive enhancement program for women) to reduce or resolve ongoing psychological disruption and/or trauma was tested among women who experienced traumatizing provider interactions (TPI) in their childbearing experience. The sample included nine married, Caucasian women, ages 26–45, college educated; one to five children (n=19). Birth Perception; Posttraumatic Childbirth Stress; and Traumatizing Provider Interaction scores among 19 births confirmed perinatal psychological trauma. Descriptive and statistical comparisons for UCLA Loneliness Scale III, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale, Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Index and Beck Depression Inventory II, revealed marked psychological improvement in postintervention measurements.
