摘要：Women who have been exposed to physical, psychological and/or sexual abuse, often with a history ofchildhood abuse and neglect, frequently suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or complex posttraumaticstress disorder (CPTSD). However, the evidence-based treatments recommended for thispopulation help only 50%, so there is a need to investigate complementary methods. In this study one suchpromising method has been explored: trauma-focused Group Music and Imagery (GrpMI). In a nonrandomisedclinical setting the feasibility of GrpMI and the suitability of chosen measurements wereexplored. Ten participants with PTSD/CPTSD were enrolled in the pilot study, five in each group. Allparticipants completed the treatment. The primary outcome was symptoms of PTSD measured at pre-, postandfollow-up. The secondary outcomes were dissociation and quality of life. The results showed a decreasein PTSD and dissociative symptoms, and an increase in quality of life following treatment. This tendency wasmaintained at follow-up. An analysis of individual, semi-structured interviews with the participants after thetermination of the treatment showed that the participants found the group treatment helpful and acceptable.Since the findings indicate that trauma-focused GrpMI has a positive effect on the psychological health of thewomen, a larger randomised controlled study is needed.
