This book outlines a brief, solution–focused approach to treating sexual abuse survivors, providing a clear, accessible guide to using problem–focused/solution–oriented psychotherapy with sexual abuse patients. Most professional books on the treatment of sexual abuse propose long–term models focusing on retrieving and processing memories of abuse. Instead, this book offers a brief, solution–oriented approach to treatment which stresses the present and future. Using stories, analogies, case examples, this accessible manual shows therapists how to apply the powerful and practical solution–oriented approach to the "3–D after–effects of sexual abuse": Dissociation, Disowning, and Devaluing.

"...very well written and easy to read...would recommend to anyone interested in the topic of trauma/abuse." (European Eating Disorders Review, Vol 8/4, 2000)
"Anger and tenderness - my selves. And now I can believe they breathe in me as angels and not as polarities. Anger and tenderness - the spider's genius. To spin and weave in one moment anywhere. Even from a broken web." - Adrienne Rich Survivors of sexual abuse often feel at war with certain aspects of themselves or their feelings - anger, fear, sexuality, memory, even physical sensations - the web of self is broken. In solution-oriented therapy for sexual abuse and trauma, the therapist's task is to help people learn to "spin and weave" at once - to reclaim parts of themselves that they have dissociated, disowned, or devalued as a result of their trauma. Even from a Broken Web gives therapists the tools to help clients spin these disparate fibers into a single resilient thread and weave a new fabric of self in which every aspect of one's personality is recognized, valued, and cherished. Acclaim for Even from A Broken Web "Bill O'Hanlon and Bob Bertolino have done an excellent job in writing Even from a Broken Web.
It is a remarkably lucid, poignant, insightful, and helpful guide for all those, therapists and clients alike, struggling to come to terms with sexual abuse and its sequelae. The authors convey so much - encouragement, excellent information, solutions, tenderness, even humor. I highly recommend this well-written book!" - Stephen Gilligan, author of The Courage to Love"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
