Abstract

Recovery work for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse can be difficult because survivors have endured traumas and events that marred and disrupted the development of their sense of self. Serial portrait drawing, an expressive technique, can be useful for clients and therapists to monitor changes and progress. These changes can lead to increased awareness, insight development, and motivation for continuing the often grueling work of recovery. Recognizing and exploring self-concept issues are necessary for healing to occur.
