Abstract/Excerpt

This special issue of Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice is dedicated to group-based interventions for trauma survivors. Given the severely traumatic and widespread nature of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, it is hoped that this special issue will play a timely and illustrative role in facilitating the design and implementation of effective post-disaster interventions. More generally, as illustrated by the breadth of treatments contained in this special issue, group-based interventions constitute a promising modality for providing efficient and efficacious post-disaster intervention to a wide variety of trauma-exposed populations.
