Tens of thousands of children are removed from home each year due
to some form of child maltreatment, usually physical neglect,
physical abuse, or sexual abuse, although sometimes for emotional
abuse as well. An additional significant number of children are
victims of child maltreatment but remain in their home. Extensive
research reveals the far reaching and long lasting negative impact
of maltreatment on child victims, including on their physical,
social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. One particularly
troubling and complicated aspect is how the child victim forms (and
maintains) a "traumatic bond" with his abuser, even becoming
protective and defensive of that person despite the pain and
suffering they have caused. This book will provide the reader with
the essential experience of understanding how children make meaning
of being maltreated by a parent, and how these traumatic bonds form
and last. Through an examination of published memoirs of abuse, the
authors analyze and reveal the commonalities in the stories to
uncover the ways in which adult victims of childhood abuse
understand and digest the traumatic experiences of their
childhoods. This understanding can inform interventions and
treatments designed for this vulnerable population and can help
family and friends of victims understand more fully the
maltreatment experience "from the inside out."
