This engaging and compassionate book provides a hopeful and helpful
perspective for trauma survivors. Cameron''s documentation of her
extensive and innovative research with childhood abuse survivors is
also a gift to the field of traumatic stress. She captures the
experiences of her research participants-- including the
challenging and significant domain of losing and regaining memory-
in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Trauma survivors,
counselors, and researchers will find in Resolving Childhood Trauma
new information, humanity, wisdom, and hope. -Jennifer J. Freyd,
Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of Oregon "Cameron's
book provides the reader with an unusual depth of information about
the long-term course of recovery from childhood sexual abuse. Her
findings are rich and detailed, and offer a wealth of information
about the process of healing, and about the power of ending
silence. Well worth reading, particularly for the therapist new to
the treatment of sexual abuse survivors." -Laura S. Brown, Ph.D.,
Independent Practice, Seattle, Washington "It took me longer to
read this book than any of the hundreds I have reviewed! Not
because it is dense or difficult to read, but because of the
emotional intensity and power of the topic and its level-headed,
balanced presentation. Kudos to the author! She has done a thorough
piece of significant research and this book can make an enormous
contribution to both professional and lay readers." -Barbara F.
Okun, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling Psychology, Northeastern
University "Resolving Childhood Trauma is an insightful integration
of theory and practice for clinicians who treat abuse survivors.
Catherine Cameron, through her clinical experience and research,
offers the reader a greater understanding of the impact of child
sexual abuse and the trauma accommodation syndrome. I highly
recommend this volume to clinicians and researchers interested in a
better understanding of efforts toward resolving childhood trauma."
-Thomas W. Miller Ph.D. ABPP, Professor in the Department of
Psychiatry, University of Kentucky and Professor of Education and
Psychology at Murray State University "Catherine Cameron's
longitudinal, interview study of 51 childhood incest survivors
presents extraordinary resources for us survivors from the dark
realms. . . . This intimate, scientific portrait can assist CSA
survivors in making sense of their own situation and planning a
productive course of actions. Cameron has a special gift for naming
the unspoken and capturing it with familiar methodology. Survivors
of CSA can find in Cameron's book the means to recover their social
dignity and to meet their abusers at eye level, with equanimity."
-Jean Maria Arrigo, Ph.D., Social Psychologist Can survivors of
severe childhood trauma reclaim their lives as adults? Social
psychologist Catherine Cameron addresses this question in a unique
12-year study of adult survivors of sexual abuse. Five successive
surveys combine the richness of intensive personal interviews with
objective measures of progress. Fifty-one women were consistently
faithful to the project, as Cameron sought to understand their
early trauma, its lasting impact, and to monitor their progress
toward recovery. A final survey (1998) provided the epilogue for
their story. As the new millennium dawns, these survivors have
become strong, vital, and caring women. They have also provided
valuable information, with implications far beyond themselves.
Cameron grounds their personal stories by citing stunning parallels
to the larger field of national and international trauma. The
result is a compelling and deeply human story of trauma and triumph
that transcends narrow application. It promotes understanding,
dignity, and hope for all survivors traumatized by human design.
