The Architect of FSA Recovery
Rebecca C. Mandeville is a pioneer in the field of systemic trauma and the clinical researcher who first coined the term Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) and Family Scapegoat Trauma (FST). Her methodologically sound work is grounded in years of qualitative and quantitative peer-reviewed research, providing an evidence-based framework for recovering from FSA-associated complex trauma (C-PTSD) and dysfunctional and narcissistic family, betrayal trauma, and “toxic shame” dynamics. As a leading expert on the ‘Identified Patient’ or ‘Black Sheep’ narrative, she has dedicated her career to providing survivors of this insidious form of “invisible” systemic abuse with the rigorous clinical tools necessary to deconstruct systemic shame so as to reconstruct and reclaim their identity.
