Treatment Techniques for Adult Female Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse

The author reviews recent empirical, case study, and conceptual literature that examines or discusses treatment techniques for adult female survivors in individual therapy. These techniques are divided into the following 11 categories: relationship‐building techniques; questioning: family‐of‐origin techniques; writing techniques; gestalt work, role playing, and psychodrama; transactional analysis and inner‐child work: hypnotherapy and guided imagery; cognitive techniques; behavioral techniques; life‐skills training; and other techniques. The author concludes with implications for researchers and practitioners. 1994 American Counseling Associatio
