| Summary |
Based on successful training workshops and drawing on the authors' extensive clinical experience, the guide combines a wide variety of therapeutic tools within a theoretical framework, with the focus on what to do, how, when and why. Using case studies, and practical ideas, the book sets out the stages of healing and therapy for child, adolescent and adult survivors. Emphasis is given to the need for therapy that is culturally appropriate, gender-matched, family-orientedparticularly in the case of children - and that empowers clients. Client comfort is seen as paramount. Information is also given about offenders and factors leading to abuse. Issues of counsellor survival, protocols for dealing with disclosure, networking with other counsellors, teamwork, and evaluation of procedures are also addressed. Counselling for Sexual Abuse will prove invaluable for sexual-abuse counsellors, as well as for doctors, nurses, social workers, and those involved in counselling training. The guide will also provide those who have been abused and their families with an understanding of sexual-abuse therapy |
