Abstract
We implemented a small series (N = 3) single-case research design to assess the effectiveness of a nine-session creative journal arts therapy treatment program for female survivors of intimate partner violence. Analysis of participants’ scores on Hope and Self-Esteem Scales using the percentage of nonoverlapping data points procedure yielded treatment effects indicating that a creative journal arts therapy treatment program may be effective for improving self-esteem and hope for female survivors of intimate partner violence. Implications for counselors and researchers are provided.
期刊介绍:
Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation (CORE) provides counselor educators, researchers, educators, and other mental health practitioners with outcome research and program evaluation practices for work with individuals across the lifespan. It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews. This journal also serves to address ethical, legal, and cultural concerns in the assessment of dependent variables, implementation of clinical interventions, and outcome research. Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
