All three authors are associated w Washington University in St. Louis and the paper was produced under the auspices of the Concordance Institute for Advancing Social Justice (George Warren Brown School of Social Work). Here’s a snippet (emphasis is mine):
In a randomized control trial with 123 female prisoners, the effectiveness of Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy was examined (Valentine & Smith, 2001). Women who received the Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy had significantly greater improvement in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the expectation of success (Valentine & Smith, 2001).
