Full Description
This book addresses the issue of non-recent child sex abuse and its long-term impact on adult survivors from a broadly psychodynamic perspective.
Non-recent CSA is not a subject that can or should be confined to the clinical arena. It has legal, welfare and profound social implications, with its impact broadening out from the survivor to the family to the community and into wider society. The politics of power and oppression are intertwined with the experience and may be unconsciously repeated into adult experiences, often worsened by the interplay of intersectionality and the withdrawal of public services and support for people with complex mental health problems. This book has been developed to support survivors, families, practitioners and the wider public break the social taboo around the topic of child sexual abuse. It unites a broad range of voices to encourage better community support and improve social services to support those impacted.
With an ethical commitment to the field, this book will appeal to clinicians working in mental health but will also hold interest to those in other fields such as the social sciences, as well as the interested public, and CSA survivors in particular.
