NOTICE: I have not authorized any third party to use or re-brand the term Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)™. This framework is the result of my original Family Systems research, a deep grounding in Structural Psychology, and over 20 years of clinical experience working with FSA survivors—informed by my own lived experience as a survivor. Unauthorized, unlicensed use distorts this foundational integrity of the FSA framework and poses a direct safety risk to survivors by offering “recovery” tools that lack these necessary structural and research-backed findings.

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.
