Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to describe the feasibility, cultural appropriateness, and acceptability of Trauma-informed Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TiCBT) to promote community healing and encourage the reintegration of repentant terrorists and their families to avoid reoffending.

Detailed Description

The study will adopt a mixed-method single-arm experimental design. Approximately 24 participants will be recruited for the intervention. The Trauma-informed Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TiCBT) is an 8-session intervention lasting approximately 1 hour each and designed to address trauma, dispel negative attitudes and encourage positive behaviour towards repentant terrorists. Measurement will be collected at baseline pre-intervention, end of intervention and three months post-intervention to determine its feasibility and effectiveness. Interviews will also be conducted post-intervention. Repeated-measures univariate analyses of variance (ANOVA) will be performed to examine differences between the pre- and post-intervention stages. Interviews will be analysed using thematic analysis.
