- Summary:
- This text explains why and how child abuse can lead to long-term, chronic health problems for survivors and helps practitioners treat this vulnerable population without causing retraumatization. It details frequently encountered immune system, gastroenterological and gynecological problems among survivors and examines the implications for clinical practice as well as sets out specific treatment guidelines for the three most common symptoms encountered in health care settings: Depression, PTSD, Chronic pain. This is an indispensable guide for medical, mental health and social service professionals.
