Occasionally a book for psychotherapists instantly becomes a
classic. Not only do clinicians recognize the excellence and
importance of the book, but their clients respond enthusiastically
to the accurate portrayal of their experiences and the model for
healing. With the publication of Healing the Incest Wound, such a
classic was born.Incest is not a rare aberrant happening, but a
common childhood experience for a substantial minority of children.
Since incest is generally hidden and denied, the victims are left
to cope with their reactions in an atmosphere that contradicts
their reality. Yet all incest is not the same; for instance,
one-time fondling by an uncle has different effects from rapes
repeated over many years by a stepfather. The book describes these
variations and the symptoms, short-term aftereffects, and long-term
secondary elaborations of incest from four theoretical
perspectives: traumatic stress, developmental, feminist, and loss.
The author not only comprehensively discusses the salient issues of
incest therapy but also illustrates these with numerous case
studies, showing how incest survivors can heal and build a core of
self-respect and dignity.
