Summary:

"Each chapter, varying in length, is intermingled with stories from the narrator, her clients' perspectives, and psychological research. The chapters follow a cadence that describes experiences, emotional effects, and examinations of themes related to the spectrum of child maltreatment and abuse and the accompanying familial, cultural, and religious assent that support these behaviors. It provides a clinical lens to identify and name types of abuse and mental illnesses and associated outcomes. The epilogue describes and provides photographs related to a profound event in which the author finds poems about abuse stored secretly in a used children's dresser that she purchased. Lastly, the author concludes with checklists to assess and identify child abuse, defines impostorism and provides strategies to overcome these experiences, describes the effects of abuse on the brain, and provides recovery resources. Academic citations are provided for each chapter."-- Provided by publisher.
