Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of play therapy combined with a traumatic cognitive-behavioral approach on the symptoms of trauma and the feeling of loneliness of the victims of sexual abuse. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population comprised all sexually-abused Afghan girls. Of whom 20 individuals were selected using the available sampling method. To conduct the questionnaire, the experimental and control group participants were examined before and after the experiment. Data were collected using Asher and Wheeler’s child trauma symptoms scale and the child loneliness scale presented by Foa et al. The assessment program consisted of 14 sessions for the treatment group, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using covariance analysis. Results: By controlling the effect of the pre-test, a significant difference was observed between the mean scores of participants’ trauma symptoms and the mean scores of participants’ loneliness in terms of group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results revealed that the play therapy combined with the cognitive-behavioral trauma-oriented treatment resulted in reduced trauma symptoms but not loneliness in these children.

期刊介绍： Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
