The efficacy of the Women Recovering from Abuse Program (WRAP) has also been investigated and established. The aim of the current qualitative study was to understand how women with a history of childhood abuse experienced WRAP, an intensive group treatment program based out of Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Thirteen women were interviewed pre- and post- treatment using the Self Assessment Interview (SAI). A thematic analysis was conducted on both the pre- and post- interviews that identified theme hierarchies for these two sources of data. These findings deepen our understanding about how participants view their trauma histories, relationships, self-concept, hopes for treatment, symptoms, met or unmet expectations, goal attainment, and impressions of the therapy itself. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.Author owns copyright, except where explicitly noted.
