520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc This thesis explores sexual abuse counselling practice, counsellors' conceptualisations of shame in sexual abuse survivors, and the process of healing from shame. Eight experienced therapists following different therapeutic orientations were interviewed. The author looks at different therapies employed in sexual abuse counselling such as cognitive-behavioural therapy and narrative therapy. The interview data was analysed using the grounded theory method of qualitative analysis and a theory of core factors in the healing process across therapeutic orientations was derived. Findings suggest that the child victim of sexual abuse makes meaning of their experiences, a process influenced by a number of contextual domains. The key meanings of being responsible for the abuse or being somehow defective as a consequence of abuse were found to be central to the development of shame, and were linked to a number of sequelae by respondents. The core factors in the respondents' conceptualisations of the process of healing shame involved renegotiating the meanings the child had formed. This process was made up of five key areas: developing trust in the therapeutic relationship; building a positive sense of self; facing the shamed self; contextualisation; and integration. Attention was also given to gender issues in order to discover similarities or differences in the experiences and healing process for male survivors of sexual abuse. Findings suggest that the respondents' saw shame in sexual abuse and the healing process as being the same for males and females, with differences being largely the result of socialisation practices. Implications of findings are discussed.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
