A systematic review and meta-analysis of group treatments for adults with symptoms associated with complex post-traumatic stress disorder

Interpersonal violence refers to the traumatic events associated with emotional, sexual and physical abuse, neglect as well as other forms of intimate partner violence, and the atrocities committed in war, torture and exploitation. Emerging evidence has indicated that exposure to interpersonal violence, particularly during key developmental stages as well as repeated victimisation, frequently results in psychological distress that can have profound consequences throughout an individual's life (Courtois& Ford, 2013; Enlow et al., 2013; Mauritz et al., 2013).
