Abstract
(type = abstract)
This dissertation introduces a time-limited group therapy treatment designed specifically for 9/11 rescue and recovery workers currently enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program. A comprehensive review of relevant literature highlights the complex psychosocial and medical difficulties experienced by this population as well as the current lack of manualized and empirically validated treatments for 9/11 rescue and recovery workers. The proposed group therapy curriculum incorporates elements of various psychoeducation, support, and interpersonal process group models to be offered as an adjunct to individual treatment. The group curriculum is accompanied by guidelines for group facilitators regarding specific interventions and planning strategies, as well as techniques to foster group engagement and safety. Additionally, particular attention is given to certain logistical and administrative considerations related to implementing the group therapy curriculum as a research study within an established healthcare system. Planned evaluation of the group curriculum is proposed through an experimental design that seeks to examine the group curriculum's efficacy in reducing symptoms of distress using three separate outcome measures. Relevant statistical analyses are discussed, and potential strengths and weaknesses of the quantitative experimental design are reviewed. In addition, qualitative data-gathering methods are proposed via post-intervention exit interviews in a mixed methods research design. This dissertation aims to advance ongoing efforts to disseminate more theoretically integrated and evidence-based trauma-focused treatments that address the unique needs of rescue and recovery workers.
