Review

"With compassion and patience... he demystifies the condition and brings it into the mainstream of medical practice. He is also very readable." New Statesman"

Book Description

"Stolen Tomorrows" will encourage women who have been abused to think about, talk about and seek help for what has been their secret shame. It illustrates the emotional and psychological devastation inflicted on girls when they experience childhood sexual abuse, exploring varied situations and settings in which this abuse takes place, focusing on the child's experiences at the time of the assault, as well as the problems that later emerge. In addition to giving therapists and other helpers an empathic insight, "Stolen Tomorrows" will enable the survivor to recognise herself in both her personal history and in her struggle to overcome the legacy of abuse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learned a lot..., Jun 30 2007

By Michelle - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stolen Tomorrows (Hardcover)

I started looking at this book in a book store because someone I'm friends with was abused. I thought it would have a lot of jargon but right away I found myself reading it easily so I bought the book. Some of the book is upsetting because sexual abuse is upsetting to think about but seeing that the survivors can get help and lead healthy lives is encouraging. I feel like I learned so much from this book and because it was broken down into different people's stories, I found that I was flying through the pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Promising Tomorrows, July 24 2007

By Laura Moisin - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stolen Tomorrows (Hardcover)

Stolen Tomorrows was written in a most masterfully fluent way by Steven Levenkron. It is immediately gripping without sensationalizing or dehumanizing the victims of such destructive sexual abuse. It offered me a very clear understanding of each particular kind of sexual abuse and how all of these varying factors directly correlate to the future personalities and self-destructive behaviors exhibited by each victim. The detailed breakdown of the clear effects that sexual abuse has on women is undeniable and should cause us all, victim of sexual abuse or not, to be aware of its extensive prevalence. Ultimately, however, this is a book that offers hope. By allowing us to bear witness to each woman's pain and journey of recovery, we becom keenly aware that real help is available and recovery is possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compelling Read, Jun 30 2007

By Rarely Reviewing - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stolen Tomorrows (Hardcover)

I found this book to be very insightful about sexual abuse--its effects and what can be done to help sexual abuse survivors. It is a great tool for therapists but I think would also be very helpful for those who are survivors of sexual abuse or who are seeking to understanding its effects. The book is sensitively written and the case scenarios make it very interesting and readable. I would definitely recommend it to those looking to deepen their understanding of this important issue.
