The participants of this study included women (aged 20 and over), who were previously in therapy (at least five sessions), but were not currently partaking in it at the time of the study, and who were willing to provide feedback via a postal questionnaire. One-hundred and ninety-one women discussed what they found helpful or unhelpful with their therapy sessions, with the majority of them stating that overall therapy was somewhat, or very helpful in recovering from child sexual abuse. The author did follow-up interviews with 20 respondents. The author also explains the obstacles participants had in receiving therapy and discusses what they deemed as helpful versus unhelpful therapy with suggestions for improvements to help future abuse survivors. The thesis also has a chapter on best practice for abuse-focused therapy and further discussions on suggestions for future research, policy and practice implications and recommendations for therapists, those involved in monitoring and supervising therapy, ACC, health and mental health professionals and clients' rights.
