SaraKay Smullens is a social worker, family
therapist, author, wife, mother of four and
life-activist. In her commitment as a psychotherapist
she is known in this country and abroad for her work
in recognizing, addressing and healing what she has
called "the invisible and lethal epidemic of emotional
abuse."
SaraKay believes it essential
that people learn to see the connection between
childhood neglect and abuse, which occurs in all
societies and in all socioeconomic levels -- very
frequently by those the child needs and trusts the
most -- and the resulting individual hopelessness,
devastation, and rage. In her work she illuminates the
impact of abuse, not only on individuals, but on the
attitudes and behaviors that destroy marriages,
families, friendships, work settings, communities and
societies.
In addition to her
books, SaraKay's writing focusing on social and
political issues, can be found in peer reviewed
journals and other professional publications. SaraKay
blogs regularly for The Huffington Post, Broad Street
Review, and Your Tango and is often interviewed by
other writers for background information on related
topics they are working on.
SaraKay’s
professional papers, documenting a professional life
of advocacy and activism, are divided between the
Archives of the University of Pennsylvania and Goucher
College. Materials relating to her first job after
college at the Democratic National Committee, with
special assignment to the White House, are divided
between the University of Pennsylvania Archives and
the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
We invite you to read more about
the SaraKay's books, or catch up on her
latest
articles and columns. You are invited to
share your thoughts,
and empower yourself with her ideas for living the best life
you can. |
