Resilience The Core: Childhood Sexual Abuse & Mental Health

Description

Secrecy that once shrouded childhood sexual abuse is no longer the norm, and survivors of abuse commonly seek help for their past trauma. Some go on to amazing achievements as adults, while others struggle with everyday doings and disabling issues. Complex Trauma, the current healthcare term for long-term consequences of abuse, differs from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder incurred in adult life. This healthcare field is emerging globally.
Resilience The Core presents an overview of Complex Trauma mental healthcare, which involves the close collaboration of health professionals. In everyday language, using case examples and familiar paradigms, Gita Mammen draws on a survivor’s strengths to show how their experience and a health practitioner’s clinical know-how may make for essential personal resilience.
