A Book by F. Felicia Ferrara, Ph.D
Childhood Sexual Abuse:
Developmental Effects Across the Lifespan
This text sheds light on a deeply hidden, yet powerfully debilitating
experience of childhood sexual abuse. The author strives to accurately
present information on the complex dynamics that have an impact
on individuals, families, school environments, and society at
large. With these dynamics in mind, the author presents a collection
of varied issues that will better prepare a child care professional
to work with children who have been abused.
Features:
> This text provides an historical, theoretical and research-based
perspective to give
readers a store of knowledge about past and current findings concerning
sexual abuse.
> The author presents age-specific developmental tasks occurring
across age groups and
discusses the adverse impact from sexual abuse or exploitation
on child development.
> Each chapter contains case examples that help the reader
to better understand the
dynamics and concepts presented in the chapter.
> Each chapter begins with a list of objectives and closes
with a summary of facts as well
as a set of discussion questions to initiate in-depth discussions
on the issues at hand.
