The following analyses compare the mean resiliency scores for two groups. The "Client" group is composed of female clients at a residential chemical dependency treatment center and female inmates attending an outpatient chemical dependency treatment group. The "Counselor/Staff" group consists of staff from the same residential chemical dependency treatment center combined with a group of professional school counselors.

As you can see from the following table, the client group scored significantly lower on all the resiliency scales than did the counselor/staff group, with the exception of the creating to express feelings subscale.
