Description
his is a unique, research-based resource for professionals treating women who were sexually abused by female perpetrators, mainly mothers and grandmothers.
The book first focuses on the female perpetrator, defines the treatments that have proven successful, and provides an overview of the available literature. Then the authors share results from communication with 85 adult women survivors, whose journals, poems, and artwork are collated with the healing methods the women themselves find to be either helpful or counterproductive. The authors outline intentions and procedures for verbal and nonverbal treatment methods such as art, poetry, and writing that prove effective in practice.
