Not Trauma Alone: Therapy for Child Abuse Survivors in Family and Social Context by Steven N. Gold, ISBN 1583910271
How is an individual to lead a comfortable, productive existence when one was never taught the skills necessary for effective living? Adult survivors of child abuse often face this dilemma. Instead of being nurtured as children and taught life-skills by their caregivers, child abuse survivors are subjected to daily regiments of coercive control, contempt, rejection, and emotional unresponsiveness. It is not surprising, therefore, that many survivors encounter difficulty adjusting from this type of damaging childhood atmosphere to one in which they have autonomy.
This book addresses the particular problems associated with treating adult survivors of child abuse. Standard trauma-focused treatment is dismissed as inappropriate for dealing with the lack of life skills from which so many adult survivors suffer. Accordingly, the text presents clinical practitioners with an alternative perspective for understanding and treating the life problems experienced by survivors.

Little Friends: Childrens Film and Media Culture in China
Contributing to the growing debates on children and media worldwide, Little Friends explores the pervasive presence of film culture in the lives of children in China.
