Product Description
From Library Journal
Maltz, author of Incest and Sexuality (Lexington: Macmillan, 1986) offers this how-to, personal therapy book written in the form of an informative if somewhat repetitive case study. She gives concrete details on what constitutes abuse and shatters the myths surrounding double standards (e.g., actor Don Johnson being seduced by a female babysitter when he was 12 constitutes abuse, yet this "older woman on younger boy" style of abuse is sometimes written off). In addition to identifying the many types of abuse, Maltz demonstrates how abuse may get buried in a victim's unconscious mind and subsequently cause sexual dysfunction. She carefully deconstructs the common negative sexuality that often acts as a defense mechanism, and attempts to replace it with a healthy, positive approach to sex. Although her book is not a substitute for therapy, it can help victims of sexual abuse along the road to healing. Recommended for most libraries.

Review,
By "mae7474" (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sexual Healing Journey (Paperback)
I bought this book, which is titled The Sexual Healing Journey, when I started healing from being abused in my childhood. When I first read this thorough book I felt able to relate to many of the topics. The topics included discussion on different types of sexual abuse, problems actual survivors developed as a result of abuse, positive assertion of the topic sexuality.While reading the book, The Sexual Healing Journey, the author occasionally talked about her experiences of being sexually abused. I respected her ability to recover and turn her trauma into a positive experience, by helping other survivors of abuse in her councelling practice. The author, Wendy Maltz, talked about these topics gently, I felt safe reading The sexual Healing Journey because of the books gentle tone. When I read a book, The Courage To Heal, I noticed the tone was rough. This rough tone was one reason I returned the book the next day. I have referred to the book The Sexual Healing Journey many times after the first time I read this book. I really found the book helpful in my recovery

Finally...,
By Fera (Alkmaar, Noord Holland Niederlande) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sexual Healing Journey (Paperback)
After reading several books on child sexual abuse, I finally came across THIS book to help me out with the sexual problems I am facing NOW. I am not a native English speaker (but an Enlgish student) and I find this book very easy to read. It is down-to-earth and inspirational all at the same time. However, I would suggest reading and working through this book can work AGAINST you if you do not have the proper support you need. If you are working through dealing with (child) sexual abuse, I would strongly recommend working through this book with the help of an experienced counselor. I consider myself quite a tough cookie but I can't tackle this subject on my own. But I am 100% satisfied with the information, quotations of fellow-strugglers, and exercises!

Help is on the way,
This review is from: The Sexual Healing Journey (Paperback)
With so many books on sexual abuse, child abuse, and everything in between, it's hard to know where to turn. Just as it's hard to find a good therapist, it's also equally difficult to find the right book. THE SEXUAL HEALING JOURNEY is just one such book. I found this to be the most helpful of all these type of books. Have also read two very riveting books recently that dealt with trying to heal the child within: A child Called It and Jackson McCrae's The Bark of the Dogwood.
