Research and intervention with adolescents exposed to domestic violence. Fam Ther. 2006;33:45-52. (University of South Carolina Upstate) <br><br></span><br></font><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt">The present study examined characteristics of adolescents exposed to domestic violence and tested a group intervention protocol utilizing
expressive writing (EW) as a coping method for this population. The experimental group used "Positive Points", a list of personal strengths, in the writing intervention based on the hypothesis that their use would increase cognitive insight and positive word usage. A significant group effect was found and all participants demonstrated positive overall emotional change as a result of EW. Jennifer Parker is an assistant professor of psychology. Gina Stewart and Courtney Gantt, both senior psychology majors, participated in the research for independent study credit. The research was supported by a USC Scholarly Research and Development Award and a mini grant from the USC Upstate Center for Undergraduate Research, which was awarded to Gina. Gina is currently in a doctoral program in psychology at the University of Mississippi. Courtney is employed and in the process of applying
to graduate programs.<br><br></span></font><font color="#000000"><b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt"></span></b></font><font color="#000000"><b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt"><div align="center"><font color="#000000"><b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt"></span></b></font></div><p style="margin-left: 19pt">ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION (through the electronic submission form):<br><br><br></p></span></b></font><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt">-Title of the article and full journal citation (inclusive pages).</span><br></font><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt"><br>-A brief description (3-5
