<p>Halvorsen, Benum, Haavind, and McLeod&rsquo;s (2016) <em>A Life-Saving Therapy: The Theory-Building Case of "Cora"</em> is rich in ideas and findings. My reflections fall into four categories. First, I comment on the finding that therapist and client reports of change in the case of Cora differ from results on objective measures. I argue that an extensive qualitative examination could better resolve this issue. Second, I raise questions concerning the idea that clients&rsquo; problems necessarily stem from early childhood abuse. Third, I argue that the authors&rsquo; finding of the importance of persistence in therapy may better explain how therapy works than a primary focus on significant events or significant moments. Finally, I agree with the authors&rsquo; finding of client courage, but give an alternative interpretation of that.</p>

Early Childhood Abuse

Fixated pedophilic sexual attraction is considered to be a major determinant of risk among sex offenders, but there is little empirical evidence regarding its treatment. It was hypothesized that two prominent factors which have emerged in the literature as being present among some sexual offenders, namely, impersonal, narcissistic, and predatory patterns of offending against victims, and experiencing childhood sexual abuse, may be related to specifically to the strength of pedophilic interest. Such a relationship would provide a deeper understanding of the corollaries of pedophilic interest and would suggest targets for treatment. These factors were explored in a sample of 532 sexual offenders who attended the National Centre for Risk Assessment in Israel, and were found to be significantly related to the level of pedophilic interest in the sample. The implications for treatment of high-risk offenders are discussed.

Early Childhood Abuse

Cases of early childhood sexual abuse are cases that are familiar to the wider community. Cases like this often roam in print and electronic media, and many are still not exposed in the public sphere. This can occur for several reasons. Children tend not to tell the incident to their parents, and even parents are less sensitive to the strangeness of their children. The result can cause various unwanted effects. Various methods are used to minimize cases of sexual abuse against early childhood. The method in this article uses literature review. The purpose of this article is to determine the impact and efforts to deal with sexual abuse against early childhood through the perspective of social workers. The results in this article are to find out the effects of early childhood abuse on sexual harassment cases, as well as efforts to address them through the perspective of social workers.

Coal Region

The black and Latina women who migrate to the coal region leave behind traumatic histories—stories of early childhood abuse and neglect, poverty, extreme neighborhood violence, and drug abuse. Upon arrival, these women face accusations that they are unfit mothers, have poor work ethics, and are undeserving of government aid. They nonetheless fight to get a fleeting shot at opportunities for their children that they themselves never had. These women encounter multiple predatory institutions waiting to take advantage of their optimism. Through small, everyday acts of civic engagement, they hold the police, their neighbors, local businesses, and schools accountable for their loved ones’ futures. Living a life of emotional turmoil, relationship flux, racial hostility, and poverty, however, leaves these women emotionally raw, deeply distrustful, and physically depleted. They can devote themselves only to their immediate kinship circles, determined to heal themselves on their own.
