Terapia supraviețuitoarelor adulte ale abuzurilor sexuale din copilărie. O perspectivă psihanalitică

Rate this book
Cum poate fi metabolizat abuzul sexual suferit în copilărie? Cum poate fi înțeleasă, integrată și depășită o experiență atât de devastatoare psihic? Cum pot reuși terapeuții să restabilească încrederea celor care au fost trădați de cei apropiați,care ar fi trebuit să îi îngrijească? Cum pot să-și păstreze echilibrul și să nu cadă în capcana salvatorului, a seducătorului, a copilului abuzat sau a părintelui indiferent și neglijent?

Pornind de la experiența clinică cu supraviețuitoare ale abuzului sexual în copilărie, autoarele propun un model integrativ de psihoterapie psihanalitică în care amintirile traumatice disociate sunt repuse în scenă în relația analitică în transfer-contratransfer și sunt elaborate și integrate. Scrisă într-un limbaj accesibil, cu numeroase ilustrații clinice, cartea de față este utilă psihologilor clinicieni, psihoterapeuților și tuturor celor care încearcă să ofere ajutor persoanelor care au trecut printr-un abuz sexual în copilărie.

I thought this was an excellent book. I have read extensively about the issues of childhood abuse over the years, being a survivor of physical abuse myself. Also having been diagnosed with PTSD I found much of this, although its not my specific issue, applicable to myself. Trauma seems to effect the survivor much the same regardless of the cause. I often try to assist my fellow survivors if I can and read this book because someone I know had this happen to them. Unfortunately, I have combined this book with another, "Girls In Justice" because the two issues overlap. With the denial of the extent of these problems in our society many victims of child abuse if removed from their families of origin end up at the age of 10, 11, or 12 in juvenile detention facilities awaiting foster care placements. Essentially placing the victims in prison without therapeutic support. The disappearance of public orphanages means that many victims end up in "prison" for months or even as much as a year and of course foster placements are far from perfect. Our society's denial of abuse and mental health issues is a disgrace. I wonder when we will face up to it? The outcomes of this situation are predictable and trying to repair the damage later in life when the victim has lost all trust in authority or any societal system is not hopeless but it takes the patience of a saint and loads of empathy that maybe only a fellow sufferer can provide. When will we face up to this and take real action? Denial will only make it worse. Re-traumatizing the victims is not the answer. The extent of the psychological problems as the book shows makes clear that only the most empathetic, loving approach is going to work, yet we are currently doing the exact opposite.

Ok so it's not a book for everyone. But it's what I'm reading and it is a great volume. Anyone, like me, who treats a lot of folks with this particular tragedy in their lives should own a copy.

An absolute beast of a book - incredibly thorough, to the extent that I feel I need to re-read it even though I have just spent months reading it. A remarkable achievement and a very precious resource for the work I do with this client group.

Minunată! Este o carte greu de citit, dar fascinantă și tristă deopotrivă. Explicații foarte bine dezvoltate cu studii de caz dintre cele mai elaborate. Este o carte de citit și de avut în biblioteca din cabinet. Recomand!
