Abstract
How Dysfunctional Transactions are Replicated in Individuals, Families, and the Child Welfare System
Description
Because dysfunctional patterns are closed systems that serve a secret purpose, they are almost impossible to change from the outside. This book can help you recognize the purpose behind the patterns! It offers successful strategies for entering the pattern to bring about change and help family members without falling into the trap of joining it and becoming part of the dysfunction.
"Patterns of Child Abuse" identifies the most common, most problematic patterns and explores their hidden meanings. Case studies and theoretical discussions demonstrate the ways family patterns are replicated in a child's psyche and the ways the grown-up child replicates the familiar family pattern, forcing the world to bend to the story within.
