Abstract

Key Practitioner MessagesThe effect of pet loss for survivors of child sexual abuse is under-explored.Perpetrators may threaten pets to silence their victims.The loss of a companion animal may affect the healing process of child sexual abuse survivors.There is a need for more research to inform interventions to assist the recovery of survivors and education to enhance mental health professionals' understanding of the ongoing effects of pet loss in relation to recovery.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
