Soul Survivors: A New Beginning for Adults Abused As Children is the republishing of a classic self-help manual for adult survivors. Soul Survivors now serves as the "Big Book" for an international self-help group called ASCA (Adult Survivors of Child Abuse). Soul Survivors was first published in 1989 and was praised by Publishers Weekly as "a model of clarity and organization". This eBook edition of Soul Survivors has been completely revised, updated for new treatment approaches and includes all the necessary materials for organizing and running ASCA self help groups. ASCA groups are now being offered in some 22 countries around the world. Organized into three sections and designed to support and augment the readers' recovery process, reading this book is complimented by one's participation in an on-ground local ASCA program.
The first section called Reclaiming Your Childhood provides all the information needed to determine if and how you were abused, and what kinds of abuse you suffered. The next section focuses on the long-term effects of the abuse on adult living such as intimate relationships, work, and parenting. The third section offers a three stage, 21 step program that integrates practical self-help strategies with the knowledge and insight of professional help. The Appendices include all the ASCA meeting materials needed to start your own community self-help group.
