Treating Secondary Victims

Description

"Treating Secondary Victims provides a much needed guide for treating the nonoffending mother in an incest family. The author, Virginia C. Strand, uses case examples to outline a treatment model and give suggestions for specific treatment strategies. The context of the mother's situation is further analyzed in this text, emphasizing how such factors as social class, ethnicity, age, and education must be taken into consideration when treating these clients.". "As intervention, investigation, and prosecution of the child abuse case proceeds, Strand provides helpful guidance for therapists, case workers, and other service providers. The author's own clinical experience builds on the foundation of research literature on incest victims and their families, and establishes a framework for intervention and treatment of the nonoffending mother."--BOOK JACKET.
