Description

"This book looks at women's engagement with contemporary understandings of childhood sexual abuse. It explores the role women play in constructing their own sexual abuse narratives based on what they define as continuous, recovered, or false memories. Drawing on debates around the recovered memory wars and sociological and feminist literature, the book examines the place of one's childhood in adult life. In doing so, it offers a unique insight into women's relationship with a growing therapeutic/self-help culture."--Jacket.
