The psychotherapeutic impact of women's consciousness-raising (CR) groups was assessed for 32 women entering groups formed in suburban, middle-class communities. Changes occurring over a six-month period were examined through pre-CR group and follow-up questionnaires and intensive interviews. Women increased in self-esteem and identification with the Women's Movement, but symptom distress was not alleviated, nor were marital relationships affected. While women expressed more positive self attitudes with greater feelings of autonomy and assertiveness, few participants manifested life-style or behavioral changes. The CR groups in this study thus served a limited psychotherapeutic function. In addition, CR and professional psychotherapy were seen as complementary and not as antagonistic help-giving systems.
对32名加入在郊区中产阶级社区成立的提高女性意识（CR）小组的女性进行了心理治疗效果评估。通过CR小组前和随访问卷调查以及深入访谈，研究了六个月期间发生的变化。女性的自尊以及对妇女运动的认同有所增强，但症状困扰并未减轻，婚姻关系也未受影响。虽然女性表现出更积极的自我态度，自主性和坚定性更强，但很少有参与者出现生活方式或行为改变。因此，本研究中的CR小组起到的心理治疗作用有限。此外，CR和专业心理治疗被视为互补而非对立的帮助系统。
