Description

Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse offers the practical “how to’s” of conducting a thirteen-session group, emphasizing the discovery of solutions, strengths, and internal/external resources. The book’s integration of theory and clinical intervention provides a thorough basis for addressing some of the key themes in the resolving and healing of sexual abuse, including the theoretical rationales for group treatment, which include the Ericksonian approach, the feminist perspective, narrative therapy, and the solution-oriented approach; resiliency- and resource-based approaches; the importance of language in recovery from sexual abuse; and how to deal with issues such as relationships, telling one’s story of abuse, building safety/boundaries, spirituality, cultivating a future, dealing with flashbacks. A practical guide for students in counseling practicums, Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse provides you with a systematic method with which to conceptualize and conduct group work. Experienced counseling practitioners in psychology, social work, psychiatry, and nursing will also benefit as you gain a session-by-session account of how to conduct group work.
