| Publisher Description: "Highly recommended as an authoritative text on incest and its treatment" and "essential reading for all therapists," Healing the Incest Wound was a groundbreaking book that put incest studies and treatment on the map. Now, almost 20 years later, this bestselling text is fully updated, offering the most current studies and findings on incest typologies, dynamics, and treatment strategies. Drawing on cutting-edge research on incest and other forms of child abuse, it includes attention to their neurological, attachment, affective, and dissociative sequelae. Courtois--a veteran practitioner and an expert in complex traumatic stress disorders resulting from chronic child abuse--presents a comprehensive revision to this classic treatment manual for therapists. |
