Abstract Recent research indicates that childhood abuse experiences characterize a large subset of psychiatric inpatients. This paper presents a time‐limited pilot group developed for adult male abuse survivors in an inpatient setting using: (1) techniques adapted from the existing literature on treatment of abuse survivors; and (2) approaches deriving from the interface of theory and current manifestations of distress. The eclectic therapeutic approach incorporated psychoeducational, cognitive, behavioral, and art therapy techniques presented below in a session‐by‐session format.
