This essential resource book offers clinicians the necessary tools and skills to work effectively with their sexually abused clients. Illuminated by numerous case histories and clinical examples, the authors offer step-by-step guidance on assessment, crisis intervention, individual psychotherapy, the use of hypnosis in psychotherapy, couples work, group therapy, and special issues of transference and counter-transference. In addition, Catherine Classen, editor of Treating Women Molested in Childhood, presents a timely and well-balanced discussion on the controversial topic of recovered memories and the danger of implanting false memories.
