Based on his own practical experience of working with over a hundred individuals who have suffered sexual abuse, the author has created a single-issue structured counseling program that is specifically designed to meet the needs of adult or adolescent survivors. In this accessible new work the author provides a practical guide to the use of this program by first explaining its basic elements -- its structure, progression, reasoning, time-scale and philosophy -- before discussing the issues and problems that are likely to arise over the course of the program. The theoretical discussion is illustrated with case studies and practical examples throughout and the appendix provides further information and insights with examples of poetry by adult survivors. Written in plain, jargon-free language this book provides a comprehensive introduction to counseling those who have suffered child sex abuse.
