Description

This book looks at women's engagement with contemporary understandings of childhood sexual abuse.

It explores the role women play in constructing their own sexual abuse narratives based on what they define as continuous, recovered, or false memories.

Drawing on debates around the recovered memory wars and sociological and feminist literature, the book examines the place of one's childhood in adult life.

In doing so, it offers a unique insight into women's relationship with a growing therapeutic / self-help culture.

Based on new empirical data generated from in-depth interviews with adult women this book explores the concepts of identity, biography, and well-being.

It will be of interest to students and academics in Sociology, Psychology, Social Work and Gender Studies, as well as those working in the field of sexual abuse.
