Growing Beyond:A Workbook for Teenage Girls

Susan Robinson has written a first of its kind workbook for female adolescents who sexually abuse. The OJJDP has confirmed that differences between female and male clients and patients require gender-specific treatments. Growing Beyond (2002) is an excellent resource for those approaches, focusing on telling what they did, dealing with their own victimization, realizing the impact of abuse on themselves and those they abused, developing positive sexuality, and building self-esteem. Each chapter includes homework assignments and exercises.
