Internal Desecration: Traumatization and Representations of God
Overwhelming life experiences, such as physical and sexual abuse during childhood, have the potential to obliterate internal representations of a loving God. In this book the author explores the inter-relationship between severity of childhood traumatization and mental representations of God through a comprehensive review of psychodynamic literature and quantitative research methodology.

It is unfortunate that this book is only on special order. Dr. Doehring is an excellent pastoral counsellor, specializing in counselling psychology and sexual abuse and harassment. Although she has a background in more traditional approaches (Freudian) she is now very interested in counselling psychology, an approach much more amenable to those who are not familiar with the technical language, and one that is more practical for most people.Dr. Doehring writes in a very clear and readable style. She speaks from a Christian (more specifically, Presbyterian) viewpoint, but can be read by anyone. Also, she takes seriously multicultural and gender concerns.
