The Effect of School-Based Creative Expression Group Therapy on the Self-Concept of Female Adolescents

Abstract

As full-time graduate students in the Counseling program, each of us is extremely pressed for time which limits our ability to work on original research. Because we do not complete a thesis for our program, there is little opportunity for research involvement. Each of the group members had an interest in becoming part of the research team, and each individual played an important role in the completion of this research. Tiffany Somerville was a co-leader of the eight-week group, and she also wrote portions of the literature review, results, and discussion sections. Danielle Pincente played a significant role in data organization, scoring, and interpretation; she also contributed to portions of the literature review and the results sections. Kelsey Oglesby was a co-leader of the eight-week group, and she also wrote a portion of the literature review. David Ehlers, Samantha Kledzik, and Jacki Pickowitz contributed significantly to the literature review as well.
