The editor begins by asking what constitutes real recovery for adult victims of abuse and suggests that current support is often not considered or planned properly. In many instances a victim's definition of recovery and healing may differ greatly from how a professional views those processes. This book explores the idea of 'recovery' being something physical in the short-term and 'healing' as an emotional process for long-term work. It brings together chapters written by practitioners and researchers from various backgrounds giving an insight into how to be creative in helping both male and female victims through recovery and healing processes. The prologue introduces the views of victims themselves before the opening chapter looks at how recovery and healing should fit into the adult safeguarding process. Further chapters then describe creative therapeutic methods which can be employed to help victims recover and to heal in different settings, whilst highlighting the long-term effects of abuse and the subsequent issues to be addressed. The issues covered range from child sexual abuse, domestic abuse and sex trafficking to the abuse of men and holocaust victims. The book is aimed at social workers, nurses, housing officers, support workers, counsellors, therapists, and anyone working with adults who have experienced abuse in childhood or adulthood.

Disabled women experience domestic violence more frequently than non-disabled women but are less likely to receive appropriate services. To date there has been relatively little research on their experiences and how this problem can be addressed. The authors draw on data from the first UK national study of disabled women who have suffered domestic violence. They describe the experiences of these women, the nature of the violence perpetrated against them, and the seriousness and range of its impacts. The authors go on to look at the gaps in services for disabled women and discuss how professional responses should be developed and improved, illustrating their discussion with examples of good practice. The book includes first-hand accounts from disabled women and contributions from leading disabled women activists.
