Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy After Child Abuse : The Treatment of Adults and Children Who Have Experienced Sexual Abuse, Violence, and Neglect in Childhood Hardback
Edited by Daniel McQueen, Catherine Itzin, Roger Kennedy, Valerie Sinason, Fay Maxted
Hardback
Description
This book presents a coherent and readable narrative review of current views on the effects and role of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the treatment of children and adults who have experienced childhood abuse and neglect.
Recent decades have seen an explosion of research into the extent of child abuse and into the effects of early relational trauma on the developing minds and brains of children.
The lasting effects on survivors are increasingly recognized and can be addressed psychotherapeutically.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy After Child Abuse is unique in two ways.
Firstly, in bringing together for the first time the considerable scientific evidence of effectiveness and the vast body of accumulated clinical experience using psychoanalytical approaches in the treatment of people who have experienced childhood abuse.
Secondly, in being the product of the widest collaboration of individuals and organizations concerned about the effects of child abuse, and experts on child abuse and psychotherapy.
These include experts by experience, survivor groups, activists, academics, and clinicians: paediatricians, physicians, child and adult psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
