{"product_id":"victims-and-survivors-own-stories-steve-broome-9781527540583","title":"Victims and Survivors' Own Stories of Intrafamilial Child Sexual Abuse","description":"In the UK today, it is estimated that nearly one in twenty children are subjected to sexual abuse, with the overwhelming majority being abused within the family environment. However, despite its prevalence, intrafamilial child sexual abuse remains largely shrouded in silence, shame and stigma. \u003cp\u003eTaking a phenomenological approach, this book presents ten retrospective first-person accounts from adult victims and survivors, exploring the impact of such abuse throughout the life course. These stories illustrate how child sexual abuse can cause trauma affecting almost every aspect of life: emotionally, psychologically, interpersonally, behaviourally and cognitively. However, they also demonstrate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit; of how adverse experiences can be lived with, processed, and assimilated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese accounts address a gap in what academics, practitioners and policy makers know about child sexual abuse; give victims and survivors a voice; and open up a conversation about one of the most enduring societal and cultural problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Broome,Anna Gekoski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527540588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527540583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Broome","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518818234623,"sku":"9781527540583","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_025c02d5-9c75-4954-b282-b68745206482.jpg?v=1778735762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/victims-and-survivors-own-stories-steve-broome-9781527540583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
