  • Research summary

    This mixed-method research aims to explore if this type of intervention is practical and useful in this population, in particular for perinatal women with Complex-posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). We want to see what the women’s views of the group are like and ask what they found helpful or what they would change. We want to see if the women attend the group regularly. We will look at questionnaires before and after the DBT group, to notice any possible effects on the women who attended. We are interested in whether the group helps people cope any differently with their strong emotions.
