Celebrating the Publication of The Flying Child – A Survivors Memoir

Join authors Sophie Olson and Patricia Walsh along with their publisher for a conversation about how the book came to be written, the harmful pathologising of child sexual abuse, the challenges of navigating support, and ultimately how Sophie and Patricia worked relationally, and courageously to approach the aftermaths of child sexual abuse (CSA).

The evening will include readings from the book, and an audience Q&A.

The Flying Child – A Cautionary Fairy Tale for Adults documents the therapeutic journey undertaken by Sophie and her therapist, Patricia. It includes all chapters of the fairy tale and the drawings Sophie created to help her make sense of her experiences and to reconnect with herself. It contains many between-session conversations, with important insights into how to work intuitively with trauma. Essential reading for those interested in understanding or working with survivors of child sexual abuse, for those who are survivors of sexual abuse, and all people in ‘The World’, The Flying Child: A Cautionary Fairy Tale for Adults is a must- have for your bookshelf.

MITUK’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for fundamentally re-thinking theory and practice in the field of mental health in the UK, and promoting positive change. We believe that the current diagnostically-based paradigm of care has comprehensively failed, and that the future lies in non-medical alternatives which explicitly acknowledge the causal role of social and relational conflicts, abuses, adversities and injustices.
