Group Therapy
For Women Survivors Of Child Sexual Abuse : Speaking the Unspeakable
by Bonnie Meekums
£
"This book
arose
out of my own need, as a clinician in the early 1990s, for some
guidance on how
to work… with groups of women who had been sexually
victimised as children.
Should I be non-directive or provide structure?"
Part I looks at theoretical issues, and Part II provides
practical strategies, eg. for dance, that have been informed by the
voices of
women who have been abused.
