Good practice in promoting recovery and healing for abused adults - London Jessica Kingsley Publishers 2013

This book sheds light on the impact of abuse and how it can be healed. It explores the idea of 'recovery' being something physical in the short-term and 'healing' as an emotional process for long-term work. The chapters cover: prologue - listening to what victims have to say about recovery and healing; how recovery and healing should fit into the adult safeguarding process; recovery and healing from complex trauma; the work of a sexual assault referral centre; male survivors of childhood sexual abuse; recovery through psychodynamic therapy - working with men who have experienced sexual violation; surviving sex trafficking; recovery and healing after domestic abuse; helping recovery and healing; art therapy with individuals with intellectual disabilities who have been abused; recovery and healing in survivors of the Holocaust; group work and the healing process.
