Dr. Lenore Walker has worked with physically, psychologically, and sexually abused women for more than 20 years and has developed an approach to their treatment called Survivor Therapy. In this dramatic recreation of key moments in the two-year course of therapy with Sarah, a 36-year-old battered woman with a history of childhood sexual abuse, Walker (the recipient of the American Psychological Associations 1994 Distinguished Contribution to Women's Health Award) illustrates the basic principles of her approach. |

Statistics indicate that a woman is beaten in this country every 15 seconds. Too often, women in life-threatening situations are either pathologized or blamed for the abuse-or both. Geared to practitioners of all orientations and experience levels, this video provides unique exposure to a powerful therapeutic model for helping abused women escape the violence, heal from the trauma, and reclaim their lives. |
