The Impact of Group Narrative Therapy on Self- Concept in Women who have Experienced Complex Trauma

This study will explore the impact of a group narrative therapy experience on self-concept in a diverse selection of women who are survivors of complex trauma. A sample of fifty participants will be collected internationally engaging the support of narrative therapy group facilitators. In this mixedmethods explanatory sequential design, phase one will include demographic and Robson self-concept surveys followed by participant interviews in phase two. Final reports will explain the general quantitative findings, and employ narrative inquiry with the intention of publishing the participants’ narratives, the impact of the group experience in developing that narrative, and associated themes arising from the survey data
