Beskrivning
What constitutes real recovery for adult victims of abuse? Current support offered to adults is often poorly planned and informed; this book sheds light on the true impact of abuse and how it can be healed.Good Practice in Promoting Recovery and Healing for Abused Adults explores the idea of 'recovery' being something physical in the short-term and 'healing' as an emotional process for long-term work. The book features chapters written by practitioners and researchers from various backgrounds and gives an insight into how to be creative in helping both male and female victims through recovery and healing processes. The prologue introduces the views of victims themselves before the opening chapter considers how recovery and healing should fit into the adult safeguarding process. The chapters then describe creative therapeutic methods which can be employed to help victims recover and to heal in different settings, whilst highlighting the long-term effects of abuse and the subsequent issues to be addressed. The issues covered range from child sexual abuse, domestic abuse and sex trafficking to the abuse of men and holocaust victims.With pedagogical features throughout, the book is essential reading for social workers, nurses, housing officers, support workers, counsellors, therapists, and for anyone working with adults who have experienced abuse in childhood or adulthood.

Recensioner i media

This collection, edited by Jacki Pritchard, covers an extensive array of situations of abuse and the approaches that can be used to support individuals go beyond coping and growth to their full potential. The concept of healing is used to differentiate long-term development from that of immediate or short-term recovery in the therapeutic process. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is used to guide the therapeutic approaches of many of the practitioners who write in the book's many pages. However, the authors caution against thinking that one approach will meet all situations and highlight the important of working carefully, empathetically and courageously with the brave victim-survivors who have sought assistance. The authors also provide helpful hints to keep practitioners and those they work with on task. In short, Good Practice in Promoting Recovery and Healing for Abused Adults, is an accessible, easy to read manual that includes many tips for how to work with vulnerable individuals who are trying to 'Go Beyond' their victim status of being or having been abused.
