The Relational Trauma of Incest Summary

The Relational Trauma of Incest: A Family-Based Approach to Treatment by Peter Fraenkel (PhD, Department of Psychology, The City College of the City University of New York)

This volume presents a groundbreaking understanding of incest and an innovative, family-based approach to treatment. The authors show that while not all incestuously abused children experience the classic diagnostic symptoms of trauma, virtually all do experience ""relational trauma"" --disruptions in the sense of safety, security, loyalty, and trust that may block connection and communication with nonoffending family members. Systematically combining individual and family sessions, the relational treatment model focuses on strengthening the child's protective relationships, mobilizing the family to help resolve the child's emotional and behavioral symptoms, and building the family's resiliency. Filled with annotated case material that illuminates the challenging treatment choices and dilemmas facing the clinician, this book offers essential guidance for anyone working with families in which incest has occurred.

The Relational Trauma of Incest Reviews

'This extraordinary book is a 'must-read' for anyone who works with children and their families. In lively, clear and highly readable prose, Sheinberg and Fraenkel provide a new model for a much needed integration of the child and family therapy modalities. Though they are working with the most complex and challenging cases intrafamily child abuse their methods and thinking are applicable to virtually all symptomatic and emotionally troubled children. The book is filled with a plethora of practical and highly creative methods for mobilizing the strengths of families and children and helping youngsters develop a more positive sense of self. It is a book you will find yourself referring to again and again.' - Ellen F. Wachtel, JD, PhD, author of Treating Troubled Children and Their Families
