Instructional book for the layman & for new therapists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Very well done. The author is a Therapist with a Master in Social Work and many years of experience working with survivors of various kinds of emotional & physical abuse. She defines child abuse, provides a self-test so the reader can determine if their experience was actually abuse, gives symptoms experienced by adult survivors and explains many of the unproductive resulting roles and behaviors that they may take on as adults. She gives case histories & details steps to recovery--very instructive. There are explanations of various types of therapies, or different models used by therapists for helping survivors--take what you like, or what works for you, from here and leave the rest. There are suggested self-therapeutic excercises such as cathartic writing, suggesting readings and support services that may be out of date now as this is an older book. Yet the information in this book is still appropriate and useful.
