Listening and Talking to Your Sexually Abused Child

Review by: Dorothyanne Brown on Dec. 4, 2012 :
This book is a simple reader, easy for reading to a daughter or son who has been abused. Abuse is difficult to talk about, and the abused are often filled with shame and distrust. A book you can look at together can defuse the discussion and provide distance. This could be very helpful for adults with low literacy skills as well. I'd encourage anyone working with sexual abuse victims to have this on their bookshelf.

This book is somewhat like a documentary or a guide for parents on how to approach their child or other people in that matter who suffered from abuse particularly sexual abuse. This book contains two parts which discusses separately the processes of listening and talking to the victim. I salute the the author for taking the initiative to write something about this sensitive topic. There are not much books I know of that tackles child sexual abuse like how this book does. It's a great eyeopener even to a bystander like me. Oh I would like to thank the author for sending me a code in smashwords that enabled me to read this gem, the author said that I won it on LibraryThing. Thanks Dr. Daugherty for sharing this wonderful book!
