Abstract
"Abstract: This is an account of research into the childhood experiences of abuse of seven black women living within Britain, a majority white culture. The abuse described includes physical, sexual, emotional and racial abuse. The study represents a phenomenological inquiry into the meaning for participants of their experiences. It also draws attention to the personal impact on the researcher. The themes that emerge are discussed from a Gestalt perspective with considerations for theory and practice. Racial abuse and the impact of racism emerge as significant factors, with particular implications for the understanding and practice of white therapists. Key words: black women, childhood abuse, racism, ground, shame and identity."
