| dc.description.abstract | Few studies have attempted to explore the area of abuser acknowledgement for survivors of childhood abuse. This qualitative research study used a case study methodology to explore the experience of a survivor of childhood sexual abuse in receiving acknowledgement from the abuser. Data was collected through an interview with the participant and was transcribed and analyzed as part of an in-depth data analysis process. Twelve themes of experience emerged from the data analysis process; these themes were experienced either in the immediate moment of receiving the acknowledgement or in the days. months, and years following the acknowledgement. These themes are discussed along with strengths and limitations of the study, directions for future research, and implications for practitioners. | en |
