Resilience The Core By Mammen, Gita

Secrecy once shrouded childhood sexual abuse but now survivors of abuse commonly seek help for their past trauma. Complex Trauma, the current healthcare term for long-term consequences of abuse, differs from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder incurred in adult life, and is an emerging healthcare field. This book presents an overview of Complex Trauma mental healthcare, which involves the close collaboration of health professionals. In everyday language, using case examples and familiar paradigms, Gita Mammen draws on a survivor’s strengths to show how their experience and a health practitioner’s clinical know-how may make for essential personal resilience.
