Product Description

Product Description

This is the second edition of a handbook for survivors of child sexual abuse and their helpers, featuring added material on the acknowledgement of survivors' strengths, the effect of sexual abuse on adult female sexuality and therapeutic themes.


From the Back Cover

Surviving Child Sexual Abuse" is a handbook for survivors and their helpers. It examines what sexual abuse entails for a child and why it happens. Personal and professional issues for helpers are addressed and the long term effects of sexual abuse are examined. The strengths of survivors are acknowledged together with the supportive alliances they have formed with partners, helpers and friends. The theme of disclosure is examined in depth and the main themes in therapeutic work with survivors are discussed and methods are described which can be used in such therapeutic work. This highly successful book ends with an evaluation of the issues involved in training helpers for working with survivors.; The book is aimed at therapists including social workers, counsellros in public organizations and private practice, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, health visitors, general practitioners, police and psychotherapists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that gives me confidence to fight and face the future, 6 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book is a treasure, because it confirms that the authors really do understand the survivors they are writing for and about.Why do I feel this confirmation? Because I AM a survivor. It is not easy reading. Each page speaks of some reminder of the past abuse, or present therapy. Yet the depth of insight and professional caring, shown throughout, allows a strong feeling of security and safety. Compelling one to read on. There is not only recognition of what my "child" endured, but also of what my "adult" needs regarding the therapeutic experience. Survival is TOUGH in a world which most people don't want to know about. Therapy is TOUGH, but this book gives "us" strength, because it lets "us" know somebody actually UNDERSTANDS, CARES and wants others to do the same. Thankyou.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book doesn't pull any punches., 14 Mar 2002
By kathyharrytowers@madasafish.com (Safe and Warm in Devon) - See all my reviews
This is the most useful, raw, hard hitting book I found, when looking for books that would support my work with survivors. It told me things that I hadn't even contemplated, thus allowing me to feel the shock safely and not whilst with a client. This didn't mean I wasn't shocked by what my clients told me, it just meant I was more prepared.
They have obviously thoroughly researched their subject matter and understand exactly what survivors need from their supporters.
I would recommend it for all therapists and counsellors, if I were atrainer it would be on my compulsory reading list.
I admire any survivor who has read it.
