Description

Clinicians are usually well educated about the diagnostic and treatment issues specific to sexual abuse. However, all too often, emphasis is put on the effects of traumatic stress reactions in isolation from other psychological manifestations. This guide, intended for clinicians who treat the sexually abused adult, examines the relationships of severe psychopathology to trauma reactions – and sheds light on such issues as psychopharmacology, substance abuse, personality disorders, attachment dynamics in psychotherapy, and mother/daughter incest.
