This publication looks at restoring connections: between the public and private worlds; between individuals and communities; and between men and women. The author, a psychiatrist, makes the link between the "heroic" suffering of men in war and political struggle, and the degraded suffering of women through rape, incest and domestic violence. She identifies a fresh diagnostic category for those suffering from "hidden" traumas, and proposes a recovery programme which favours a process of reintegration.;With a new afterword, Judith Lewis Herman describes the controversy ignited by her work, the new research to emerge in this field of psychology and the far-reaching implications of this text on trauma situations worldwide.
Through an intensive clinical study of forty incest victims and
numerous interviews with professionals in mental health, child
protection, and law enforcement, Judith Herman develops a composite
picture of the incestuous family. In a new afterword, Herman offers
a lucid and thorough overview of the knowledge that has developed
about incest and other forms of sexual abuse since this book was
first published.
Reviewing the extensive research literature that demonstrates
the validity of incest survivors' sometimes repressed and recovered
memories, she convincingly challenges the rhetoric and methods of
the backlash movement against incest survivors, and the concerted
attempt to deny the events they find the courage to describe.
Infused with clinical wisdom, this book describes a supportive
group treatment approach for survivors just beginning to come to
terms with the impact of interpersonal trauma. Focusing on
establishing safety, stability, and self-care, the Trauma
Information Group (TIG) is a Stage 1 approach within Judith
Herman's influential stage model of treatment. Vivid sample
transcripts illustrate ways to help group participants deepen their
understanding of trauma, build new coping skills, and develop
increased compassion for themselves and for one another. In a
large-size format for easy photocopying, the volume provides
everything needed to implement the TIG, including
session-by-session guidelines and extensive reproducible handouts
and worksheets. Purchasers get access to a companion website where
they can download and print the reproducible materials from the
book, as well as an online-only set of handouts and worksheets in
Spanish. See also The Trauma Recovery Group, by Michaela
Mendelsohn, Judith Lewis Herman, et al., which presents a Stage 2
treatment approach for clients who are ready to work on processing
