Goal setting,however,was not directly associated with the reduction of negative psychological consequences.Other psychological techniques such as microcounseling skills,acceptance and commitment therapy,and written disclosure have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing negative psychological consequences,improving psychological coping,and reducing re-injury a展开更多
