Abstract/Summary

This study examines the effectiveness of Mutual Storytelling Technique on self-concept and anxiety of children survivors of incest aged 9 to 11. Twenty children were randomly assigned to treatment and control group so that there were 10 children in each group. Children in the treatment group received a 50-minute individual session in a child welfare institution in Alabang. Children in the treatment group showed improvement on their self-concept and anxiety. There was a significant difference t19 = 20.19, at p .05, on children's self-concept from low average to high average. There was a significant difference, t19 = 20.19, at p < .05, on children's self-concept from low average. There was a significant difference t19 = -9.23, at p <.05, on children's anxiety from high average to low average. Children also showed improvement in their behavior as observed among significant others. Children in the control group did not show any improvement on a larger sample size, on children with other problems or concerns ( e.g., depression, suicide, learning disabilities), and on adolescents and adults who have difficulty exoressing their problems or concerns.
