| book description |

How is an individual to lead a comfortable, productive existence when he or she was never taught the skills necessary for effective living? Adult survivors of child abuse often face this dilemma. Instead of being nurtured as children and taught life-skills by their caregivers, child abuse survivors were subjected to a daily regimen of coercive control, contempt, rejection and emotional unresponsiveness. It is not surprising, therefore, that many survivors encounter difficulty adjusting from this type of damaging childhood atmosphere to one in which they have autonomy. This book addresses the particular problems associated with treating adult survivors of child abuse. Standard trauma-focused treatment is dismissed as inappropriate for for dealing with the lack of life skills from which so many adult survivors suffer. Accordingly, the text presents clinical practitioners with an alternative perspective for understanding and treating the life problems experienced by survivors. This is aimed at traumatologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and other mental health professionals who work with adult survivors of child abuse.
