Opis

This book provides a framework for providing practical and active guidance when counseling survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This book begins by providing therapists with crucial information about sex abuse survivors--such as ethical considerations, types of abuse, the stages of abuse, and the effects of the abuse on the child--as well how to take an abuse profile. The second part of the book provides concrete and client homework exercises for treatment itself, and covers working with memories, denial, parents, partners, and more. This accessible yet comprehensive guide will be of utmost use to mental health professionals who work with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
