Pritchard, an independent social worker and trainer, consultant, and researcher in social care who works with victims of abuse in the UK, offers a guide for social workers, nurses, housing officers, support workers, counselors, therapists, and others working with adults who have experienced abuse in childhood or adulthood. It contains 11 chapters by researchers, therapists, support workers, and others from the UK, US, and Canada, who consider how victims of abuse think about the difference between recovery and healing and methodologies to work with them in the short and long-term in different settings. They address how recovery and healing fit into the adult safeguarding process, and recovery from complex trauma, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, domestic abuse, and for survivors of the Holocaust, and methods like psychodynamic therapy for men who have experienced sexual violation, art therapy with individuals with intellectual disabilities who have been abused, group work, and a supported housing project to help in the recovery and healing process for women survivors of sexual abuse.
