Working with Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse This book provides a framework for addressing the extended treatment needs of adult survivors of child sexual abuse. It is based on a therapeutic intervention model that provides flexibility for therapists to work according to their training and skills set while incorporating practical techniques structured around the needs of survivors. The book begins by providing therapists with crucial information about sex abuse survivors—such as ethical considerations, types of abuse, the stages of abuse, and the effects of the abuse on the child—as well as a method useful in the putting together of an abuse profile which ultimately assists in identifying treatment needs. The second part of the book provides client homework exercises for treatment and covers working with memories; denial; problematic emotions such as guilt, self-blame, and shame; depression and anxiety; sexuality; as well as parents, partners, and more. This accessible yet comprehensive guide will be of utmost use to mental health professionals who work with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. " This book is a much-needed and timely resource for professionals who are engaged in treating and supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It provides extensive guidelines for interventions tailored to the unique needs of individual clients. Covering a board range of techniques within a clear conceptual model, this comprehensive work will be welcomed by therapists as well as by supervisors and therapists in training.“ Tharina Guse, Associate Professor and Counseling Psychologist, Department of Psychology, University of Johannesburg, South Africa "The aftermath of childhood sexual abuse can influence the careers, the relationships, the parenting methods, and the general well-being of survivors during adulthood. Facilitating the healing and post-traumatic growth of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse can be deeply meaningful to therapists. Dr Liezel Anguelova is a compassionate therapist, and this book is based on thorough research. Its content will empower and enhance the practice of every healthcare professional working in this field.
