Iwankapiya-Healing: Historical Trauma Practice and Group IPT for American Indians

United States84 participantsStarted 2013-04-22

Plain-language summary

This study will pilot an intervention that combines group Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an empirically-supported treatment, and the Historical Trauma and Unresolved Grief Intervention (HTUG), a Tribal Best Practice for American Indians. HTUG focuses on grief, depression, and trauma response resolution related to collective massive group trauma across generations, including the lifespan, for American Indians. We anticipate more positive responses to, and patient engagement in, the combined HTUG/IPT intervention than to IPT Only.
