 Christiane as an AuthorMy writing allows me to communicate with a wider audience and share my knowledge and experience. I enjoy the whole process of communication through writing books in the hope that this will facilitate greater understanding among a wide range of professionals who in turn may find this useful in their work to aid healing and recovery.Counselling Survivors of Domestic Abuse "This is a thoughtful, informative and thorough response to the complex and sensitive issues surrounding counselling for those who have experienced domestic abuse...it is a great book and will be invaluable to professionals working within the therapeutic process whether GP's, mental health professionals, counsellors, midwives, social workers or independent domestic abuse advisers, to name but a few. Student's of various disciplines reflected by these professions should be recommended this book as essential reading." Professional Social Work "Counselling Survivors of Domestic Abuse provides an excellent resource for counsellors and health professionals who work with domestic abuse...it is an essential read not only to better understand the phenomenology of survivors, but also to facilitate self-reflection and self-understanding." Health Care Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal "This is a useful addition to the library of an established counsellor." Nursing Standard Counselling Survivors of Domestic Abuse explains how counsellors can facilitate recovery from domestic abuse within a secure, supportive therapeutic relationship. There has been growing awareness in recent years of the impact and consequences of domestic abuse, especially the relationship between domestic abuse and mental health. To appreciate the nature of trauma caused by domestic abuse, professionals need to understand its complex nature and the psychobiological impact of repeated exposure to control and terror. This book examines the therapeutic techniques and specific challenges, such as secondary traumatic stress, faced by professionals when working with survivors of domestic abuse. The author stresses the importance of identifying domestic abuse so that it can be addressed in the therapeutic process to aid recovery, and explores issues such as safety and protection, the long-term effects of abuse and the importance of grieving to the restoration of hope. This book is essential reading for counsellors, therapists, social workers, mental health professionals, health care professionals including GPs and midwives, managers of refuges, legal professionals and all those working with survivors of domestic abuse. "The book is hugely informative on psychological aspects of domestic abuse as well as drawing together applicable clinical thinking from a wide range of theoretical orientations, with extensive bibliography and indexes..............Comprehensive reviews on working with trauma, loss and issues of self-esteem........This is a useful teaching and study aid, a reference book for agencies to keep to hand, as well as a ‘secure base’ for domestic abuse specialists to develop and refresh their skills..." - Therapy Today February 2009  Previous publications by ChristianeCounselling Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse 3rd Edition Jessica Kingsley Publishers (2006) Counselling Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse is now in its third edition and continues to be a recommended text by universities and training institutes.
