 Lacks empathy October 10, 2008
This book might have as well been called "Sexual abuse guide for dummies". Author's intention might have been good, providing the basics for "beginners" but how can one simplify such horrors as child sexual abuse? There is no deeper understanding in this book of what this experience can do to a person. A title of one chapter reads "Ok, I believe it, now what?". I cannot imagine anyone adopting such tone, whether having gone through it or knowing someone who did.
Even though I don't like it, I am glad to see that it did help many people. But if you feel repelled by the style of this book as me, check the Secret survivors by E. Sue Blume. Amazingly intelligent and empathicly written.
enlighteling October 10, 2008
This was recommended by my new therapist with good reason, It applies to a large group of people. I have found an easier and more digest-able way to view the way I was raised due to this read. I never realized that being ignored and being raged at was a form of abuse. I appreciate the education this simple book has to offer. I have never been one for the victim-y or poor me stuff, this gave me some real perspective.
 Hard to find book; great service here!! THANKS!! July 24, 2008

The author has a wealth of experience working with children. The book is easy to read. It is really helpful and each page is a thought provoker. Better is read slower so the reader has plenty of reflective time. This book and the author will be classics in the child abuse and treatment category. Self-help or in therapy, the book and its author are right on.

This book presents a simple, friendly clinical resource that is helpful to therapists and as bibliotherapy for clients who are dealing with abuse.

This is a tiny little book with lots of pictures and very little substance to it. It's designed to ask questions of the reader and point out certain behaviors, and that's it. I didn't find the information in it very useful, but since I do volunteer work with children I decided to keep in around to refer to from time to time. I didn't find it to be a book for adults at all. My advice is don't waste your money.
