Description
This study focuses on the developmental and therapeutic needs of these traumatized children. Children from alcoholic or addictive families are too often the victims of neglect and physical and sexual abuse, subject to unpredictable and abusive family behavior. In this book, Rosalie Cruise Jesse focuses on developmental and therapeutic needs of these traumatized children in middle childhood, between the ages of seven and eleven. Integrating self psychology and family systems perspectives, the author draws upon current research findings that demonstrate why children do not automatically “recover” as a result of parental abstinence.
