Results indicate that the program was
effective in the reduction of the post-traumatic, depressive and somatic symptomatology. There were not significant differences in the self-esteem variable. The scores obtained in post-traumatic symptomatology continued descending three months follow up. The reaches and limitations of this study are analyzed.
