- W292431743 abstract "Kirkengen, A. L. (2010). The Lived Experience of Violation: How Abused Children Become Unhealthy Adults. Bucharest: Zeta Books. ISBN: 978-973-1997-46-9 (paperback). 978-973-1997-47-6 (ebook). Anna Luise Kirkengen, M. D, Ph.D, primary care physician and phenomenological researcher, makes a vital contribution to our understanding of the embodiment, over- time, of childhood experiences of violation. Dr. Kirkengen illuminates the relationship between the meaning of these experiences in survivors' lives and the unique manifestation of symptoms and behavior that are expressed through their lived bodies into adulthood. Dr. Kirkengen cites research that demonstrates the prevalence of violence experienced by individuals in childhood and by women throughout their childbearing years, but reminds the reader these statistics represent only reported violence and that it is well known that many incidents of violence go unreported. Kirkengen presents a powerful argument for the need for those who work within the medical, legal, and social systems to transcend the dichotomous mind-body paradigm that has limited their understanding of the embodiment of experiences of violation and prevented them from effectively helping individuals who have experienced violence in childhood. Kirkengen demonstrates how these limitations have, at times, resulted in further injury to survivors who seek support from these systems. Kirkengen's book synthesizes the multidimensional impacts of experiences of violation that begin in childhood and often continue into adulthood. She draws upon her experience with patients and study participants to provide the reader with a deep understanding of these impacts. Kirkengen includes discussion of recent research on the long-term health impacts of adverse childhood experience, including those that affect the health, development and behavior of survivors' offspring. She also describes patients' histories and the care they received and provides first-hand accounts of patients' lived experiences of violation, as well as their efforts to elicit help from their families, community, and the medical, legal and social systems. Through compassionate presentation of the history and context of patients' lived body experiences of violation, and the inclusion of their own words, Kirkengen unveils the meaning of their seemingly cryptic symptoms and behavior. In the process of doing so, she sheds light on the inherent limitations of Western medicine's view of what constitutes relevant knowledge regarding patients' health and how these limitations undermine the ability of health care providers to offer effective treatment for survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. The patients' descriptions of their experiences and the meaning of these experiences in their lives allow the reader to understand, as Kirkengen points out, how an assault to the integrity of a person as a human being, no matter what form it takes, can shape that person's life and health over their lifespan. The patients' voices provide a unique opportunity for the reader to intimately perceive the depth and intensity of these experiences and their embodied expression over time. Kirkengen and her patients reveal how the impacts of these experiences often remain misunderstood and incomprehensible or invisible to others, even family members, and those in the helping professions and medical, legal and social systems. She helps the reader understand how repeated experiences of being misunderstood or having one's symptoms and behaviors deemed incomprehensible, even deviant, may be perceived by survivors as additional experiences of violation. …" @default.
