Resolving Childhood Trauma: A Long-term Study of Abuse Survivors

by Catherine Cameron - £56.00  Sage Publications (2000)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780761921295 | ISBN 10: 076192129x

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.
