This paper presents a qualitative narrative study that included analysis of 54 texts written and shared on the internet. The paper suggests that personal writing by childhood victims of sexual abuse and online sharing of their texts facilitate testimony and rehabilitation of the abused and erased self. In the discussion of the research findings, I focus on the role of writing in revealing the truth, and the possibility of existing in a dialectics of trauma. The paper demonstrates this through the salient theme of silence and speech. The theoretical contribution of the study to the fields of bibliotherapy and poetry therapy is in understanding the role and meanings of writing and of sharing in therapeutic writing communities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
