Product Description
Go beyond the pain and fear of sexual abuse to heal the trauma
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) can be a physically and emotionally painful soul-shattering experience that can traumatize a person for a lifetime. The Wall of Fear: Crossing the Wall from Trauma to Recovery from Childhood Sexual Abuse is a unique exploration of the subjective experiences of both client and therapist as they together travel the path to recovery. Therapists get a clear illustration of the therapy process while CSA survivors are offered a gauge with which to judge their own progress toward recovery. New therapeutic concepts are clearly presented and extensively discussed while sensitively charting the experiences of clients on the journey toward healing.
As Winston Churchill once said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” The Wall of Fear charts the arduous progress of a survivor from the initial understanding that they need help and guidance, to choosing the correct therapist, to the emotional roadblocks most clients face on their own personal recovery from the hell of CSA. The authors team up to courageously provide readers with a comprehensive and candid portrait of their experiences of CSA therapy while demonstrating the approaches which effectively enhance healing. Features include schematic drawings of the stages of therapy, the client’s own diary from her youth through her therapy in adulthood, client drawings illustrating progress in therapy, and effective art exercises that can be used at the beginning of therapy. The text includes extensive references, useful appendixes, and a helpful glossary of terms for the layperson.

Written from the depths of experience, 13 Dec 2006
By Dr. R. A. Buckwald "Bob" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Childhood Sexual Trauma: A Guide to Breaking Through the Wall of Fear for Practitioners and Survivors (Paperback)
This book is engaging from begining to end. Through the entire book chapter by chapter the reader will recognize the wisdom and insight that only a professional or a victim can bring to the subject. If you are an interested layman, professional or a victim, you will learn from the authors' perspectives on this cruel and unfortunately common phenomena of child sexual abuse. I highly recommend this book.

Message from a survivor, 7 Dec 2006
By D. Peretz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Childhood Sexual Trauma: A Guide to Breaking Through the Wall of Fear for Practitioners and Survivors (Paperback)
To Sheri Oz, MSc and Sarah-Jane Ogiers,
As a survivor in mid-treatment, I have read several books about this topic. My aim is to get all the help that I can in order to be a better parent and to provide my children with a good life WITHOUT THEM BECOMING SECOND GENERATION SURVIVORS.
I couldn't stop reading this book - your honesty and frankness, as well as your courage, both fascinated and encouraged me.
Thank you.
I hope that speakers of other languages will also be able to benefit from this book.

An exceptional book., 6 Jan 2007
By Y. Tauber "Y. Tauber" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Childhood Sexual Trauma: A Guide to Breaking Through the Wall of Fear for Practitioners and Survivors (Paperback)
Sheri Oz and Sara-Jane Ogiers have written an important book. Their main contribution to the field, in my opinion, is that they enable the reader to get a sense of the actual experience of both client and therapist. Sara-Jane Ogiers has courageously, and generously, shared her beautifully written diaries. In this way, the reader can get a direct sense of both the psychological scars that can result from child sexual abuse, and the difficult work that is needed to recover. Sheri Oz has succeeded in conveying a real sense of what this work can be like for the therapist, in addition to providing a theoretical context highighting many aspects of the consequences and treatment of sexual abuse.
Y. Tauber, Clinical Psychologist
