Google Preview: Incorporating the voices of professionals counselling survivors of abuse, and those of the survivors themselves, this book provides the reader with a theoretical understanding of people who have endured abuse situations, as well as practical approaches to counselling them. Focusing on the emotional needs of survivors, the contributors discuss, from the viewpoint of their own experiences, effective and useful practice and the provision of appropriate and accessible services in this field.The effects of different types of abuse and abusive environments, and a variety of methods for dealing with their aftermath, are explored, with chapters dealing specifically with, among other topics:drug users who were sexually abused as childrenissues for practice in working with domestic abusetherapeutic responses to people with learning disabilities who have been abusedcounselling people who self injurepsychodynamic counselling and older people who have been abusedthe impact on professional workers.; Men as victims/offenders, David Briggs; abuse and self harm, Lois Arnold and Gloria Babiker; counselling children, Madge Bray; people with learning difficulties, Steve Morris; empowerment, Sandra Samuels; abuse of elders, Jacki Pritchard; beyond survival, Sharon Gilbert; abuse and substance misuse, Ronno Griffiths; ritual abuse, Sara Scott; survivor's perspective, Runa Wolf; complex post traumatic stress disorder, Liz Hall; race and abuse, Jalner Hanmer.; This is an interesting book written from the perspective of survivors of child sexual abuse, providing detailed, and rather harrowing, accounts of recovery from early experiences of childhood abuse. Overall, this is a timely, interesting and important publication which will be read sympathetically by those working with child sexual abuse victims, which may contribute to a responsible debate about the nature of traumatic amnesia and which in the words of the editor, Zetta Bear, may ""serve as a marker for the responsible and ethical allocation of resources in the future"".; Google Preview content
