Seller Description
Janis Tyler Johnson has collected the stories of six mothers who relate in their own words their experiences as mothers of incest victims. Their accounts challenge the collusive, mother-blaming theory of incest families. Mothers tell how they discovered the incest secret, the ways they responded, and the meanings that incest held for themselves, their daughters, husbands, and families. Dr. Johnson, the former professor of sociology and social work at Immaculata University, has been as longtime social worker in community mental health, family service and public child welfare with expertise in child sexual abuse.#Incest#Abuse#Survivors#Mothers#Treatment#Counseling#Sociology#SocialWork#Womensstudies
