Reviews the book, Healing voices by Toni Ann Laidlaw, Charyl Malmo, and Associates (see record 1990-97463-000). This book is a rich collection of a particular type of feminist therapy aimed primarily at adult female victims of sexual abuse. Readers who are interested in feminist therapies, psychodynamic approaches to the treatment of women, or the deleterious effects of sexual abuse on women will find this book interesting reading. The authors, therapists, and clients provide much detail and personal reflection which give this book depth. Unfortunately they do not address the important issues of systematically validating the effectiveness of these strategies, nor frequently, the need for serious consideration of what therapy to use with whom.
