This book is fabulous... the absolute best I have ever read on the
trauma associated with sex abuse. Written in clear language, it
takes the understanding of the problem and the path to recovery to
a new level, revealing the devastating nature of traumatic effects
of abuse, but also providing a source of concrete hope through a
realistic and attainable treatment and recovery program. The
section on understanding complex trauma is a major gem in itself,
and should be required reading for anyone involved in sex abuse at
any level.

This book has a great deal to offer to all counsellors and
psychotherapists, as well as other practitioners who work with
people who have experienced trauma within the context of close
relationships. The great strength of this book is that it considers
all aspects of this area of therapy in an informed, accessible,
caring and comprehensive manner. It represents an exceptional
contribution to the literature and will become essential reading
for both trainees and experienced practitioners. A welcome example
of how knowledge and skills from a range of medical, social and
psychotherapeutic approaches can be integrated into a coherent
model of practice.
