Severe abuse often occurs in settings where the grouping, whether
based around a family or a community organisation or institution,
outwardly appears to be very respectable. The nature of attachment
dynamics allied with threat, discrediting, the manipulation of the
victim's dissociative defences, long-term conditioning and the
endless invoking of shame mean that sexual, physical and emotional
abuse may, in some instances, be essentially unending. Even when
separation from the long-term abuser is attempted, it may initially
be extremely difficult to achieve, and there are some individuals
who never achieve this parting. Even when the abuser is dead, the
intrapsychic nature of the enduring attachment experienced by their
victim remains complicated and difficult to resolve. This volume
includes multiple perspectives from highly experienced clinicians,
researchers and writers on the nature of the relationship between
the abused and their abuser(s). No less than five of this
international grouping of authors have been president of the
International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, the
world's oldest international trauma society. This book, which opens
with a highly original clinical paper on 'weaponized sex' by
Richard Kluft, one of the foremost pioneers of the modern
dissociative disorders field, concludes with a gripping historical
perspective written by Jeffrey Masson as he reengages with issues
that first brought him to worldwide prominence in the 1980s.
Between these two pieces, the contributors, all highly acclaimed
for their clinical, theoretical or research work, present original,
cutting edge work on this complex subject. This book was originally
published as a double special issue of the Journal of Trauma and
Dissociation.
