Description: Despite increased recognition of the high incidence of child sexual abuse, little attention has so far been paid to the women on whom children primarily depend for care and protection - their mothers. Informed by theory and research on other situations involving loss, secrecy and moral dilemmas, as well as the rapidly accumulating knowledge of child sexual abuse, Mothers Surviving Child Sexual Abuse offers a new analysis of mother's reactions and responses, presenting a fresh perspective on a shocking problem for practitioners and policy-makers involved in child protection, as well as students and lecturers of social work and social studies and women's studies.
