Christiane Sanderson BSc., MSc. is a lecturer in Psychology at the University of Roehampton. With 26 years' experience working in child sexual abuse, sexual violence, complex trauma and domestic abuse, she has run consultancy and training for parents, teachers, social workers, nurses, therapists, counsellors, solicitors, the NSPCC, the Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Committee, the Methodist Church, the Metropolitan Police Service and the Refugee Council. She is the author of Counselling Skills for Working with Trauma, Introduction to Counselling Survivors of Interpersonal Trauma, Counselling Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse and The Seduction of Children, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
This is an expanded and revised third edition of a well-respected
text, and I cannot imagine there is a more comprehensive, account
of the impact of sexual abuse on the adult survivors.
*Mental Health Today, Feb 2007*
The publication of this edition should be welcomed. It has been
totally updated and revised, with a different structure of chapter
titles that are both clear and informative. Sanderson really
thought hard about how to build on the earlier edition.
*Community Care Magazine, January 2007*
There has been a large increase in awareness, knowledge and
understanding of the issues that permeate childhood sexual abuse
(CSA), both within the counselling field and the public. Much of
this is down to the work of researchers and writers, such as
Christine, who strive to bring together and report into the public
domain what life is like, long term, for a survivor of CSA and the
issues they have. There is much new material in this updated
edition, such as in-depth chapters on self-harming behaviour,
memory, sexuality and many more - all serving to provide the reader
with a book that, despite the subject matter, is easy to read,
follow and understand. In my opinion this book will be of great
value to those already working with CSA survivors and essential for
those who are considering such work.
*Therapy Today*
The third edition of this helpful book is shaped by current
research and the author's clinical experience, and links current
knowledge in child sexual abuse (CSA) with its impact and long-term
effects. There is a great deal to take in... but the effort is
worthwhile.
*The Psychologist*
This excellent book is comprehensive in addressing the complex
issues of working with child sexual abuse (CSA). This
thought-provoking and optimistic book gives valuable new insights
surrounding CSA and its impact. Suitable for experienced
practitioners and those new to counselling, both will be able to
use it as a reference guide when working with survivors who have
specific presenting symptoms, how best to work with such symptoms,
and how they relate to CSA. I have worked within this field for
almost 20 years and I welcome this valuable resource, it has
increased both my understanding and knowledge, this helps me to be
more effective in enabling a client move from, as Christiane
states, "Victim to survivor to Feeling Alive".
*Accord Magazine*
Praise for the second edition:
'Counselling Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse addresses the
myths and mysteries while propelling a lifeline to both the health
professional and the adult survivor. This is probably the most
complete book on sexual abuse in publication.'
*Nursing Ethics*
this excellent book strikes a good balance between theory, data and
practical advice for workers and includes illustrative case
material and practical strategies for counsellors. It conveys both
the experiences of survivors and the enormous amount that can be
achieved. It is a stimulating and optimistic book which would be
suitable for all workers in this important area.
*Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health*
Christiane Sanderson's book is a comprehensive text on the subject
of working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse. It is
through in its exploration of the many facets of this work. This is
a shocking subject, and the author does not protect us from the
harsh realities, which is one of the book's strengths.
*HCPJ, January 2007*
Counselling adult survivors of child sexual abuse is an essential
addition to the libraries of clinics and counselling services, and
essential reading for counsellors and researchers working in the
field.
