Product Description

Using a holistic approach, this guidebook is geared toward mental health professionals working with women who have been victims of sexual abuse. It provides the background necessary for understanding child abuse, and presents a four-stage theoretical model for therapeutic intervention. It is intended to help the therapist to accurately diagnose the occurence of childhood sexual abuse, conceptualise the effects of family, stage of development and spirituality of the victim. Ego splitting is examined in detail, and comprehensive case studies on the topic are also included.; In addition, this book should help serve as a bridge between the popular and professional literature on treatment of sexual abuse survivors. using mainstream literature and fairy tales, the authors show how numerous metaphors for abuse are presented in our everyday life. This historical perspective, coupled with the four-step process, supplies the practitioner with a comprehensive overview, numerous invaluable treatment techniques and an opportunity to gain an empathic understanding of the victim's life and experiences. The format also makes this text accessible to laypersons - both clients and other concerned individuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shattered Innocence : A Practical Guide for Counseling Women, April 1 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Shattered Innocence: A Practical Guide For Counselling Women Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse (Paperback)

As a surviver of childhood abuse, i found this book to be very helpful and insightful. Recovery from such horrendous acts is very painful. Mr. Weiner provides excellent methods to continue with recovery and in a less painful yet productive means. I will forever be greatful to him for his insight and assistance to those of us with backgorounds of this nature. His understanding of MPD/DID was most touching. Thank you Mr. Weiner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shattered Innocence, Feb 23 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Shattered Innocence: A Practical Guide For Counselling Women Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse (Paperback)

The book is thoughtful and sensitive, and at the same time thorough and informational. I personally went through recovery for childhood sexual abuse and feel that the process is clearly and efffectively outlined. It was most interesting to read the comparison to the Stephen King novel. And some of the imagery in the book is so vivid and poignant. The little girl on the swing...what an image.

5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting..., April 14 2006

This review is from: Shattered Innocence: A Practical Guide For Counselling Women Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse (Hardcover)

My wife is a psychologist and I took this book from her to read. As a lay person, I now have a deeper understanding of this topic. It was accesible and informational and academic and intelligent at the same time. The ties to history and pop culture make the book timeless and relevant.
