In Chapter 1, it was mentioned that there are four necessary and sufficient ingredients in successful trauma recovery treatment: 1-Finding a guide/therapist with whom to collaborate in planning and executing changes; 2-A critical mass of “leaps to the truth”; 3-Learning and using new and more effective coping skills, and 4-Group involvement to model and support the change process.
This chapter introduced some of the reasons and methods a group can be used to help in trauma recovery: the fourth ingredient of successful treatment.
The following songs and films will illustrate the power of the group even more.
