title: CHILDHOOD'S THIEF: ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY OF HEALING FROM CHILD ABUSE
author: Rose mary Evans
description: Therapist Evans adds to the plethora of recent books about abusive sexual childhood experiences by detailing her encounters with a client she calls JoAnn. Blatantly admitting that her social work training did not equip her to treat a client with JoAnn's complex problems, she nonetheless worked with her for many years. When JoAnn spontaneously began to record her early memories, Evans encouraged her to continue. These disjointed reminiscences, written in dialect, are extensively excerpted here. Evans does not define the goals of JoAnn's therapy, other than uncovering her past, and in the end it is not clear whether JoAnn's life has improved. Since neither client nor therapist are particularly endearing, the reader really doesn't care. A marginal purchase.<br /><i>Carol R. Glatt, VA Medical Ctr.
