    Jonathan Yahalom, Caitlin L McLean et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2026

    These findings suggest that a trauma-focused, discussion-centered group therapy approach may be relevant for men with histories of MST, a population with unique clinical distress and treatment underutilization. This alternative therapeutic approach merits additional study as an alternative approach for MST-related care. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
