Book Description
For millions of men on the path to recovery, Victims No Longer is the next step.
The first book written specifically for men, Victims No Longer examines the changing cultural attitudes toward male survivors of incest and other sexual trauma. Now, in this Second Edition, this invaluable resource continues to offer compassionate and practical advice, supported by personal anecdotes and statements of male survivors. Victims No Longer helps survivors to:
- Identify and validate their childhood experiences
- Explore strategies of survival and healing
- Work through issues such as trust, intimacy, and sexual confusion
- Establish a support network for continued personal recovery
- Make choices that aren't determined by abuse
Psychotherapist Mike Lew has worked with thousands of men and women in their healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape, physical violence, emotional abuse, and neglect. The development of strategies for recovery from incest and other abuse, particularly for men, has been a major focus of his work as a counselor and group leader.
Thoroughly updated and revised, and including an expanded Resources section, Victims No Longer educates survivors and professionals about the recovery process -- speaking to the pain, needs, fears, and hopes of the adult male survivor.

Living With Abuse,
This review is from: Victims No Longer (Second Edition): The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse (Paperback)
As a person who was sexually abused in my youth, this book provides some powerful stories and affirmation. The major point is that we are not alone. Many of us believe we are alone in our journey carrying the burden of shame and distrust that perpetrators tend to put upon us. But this book notes that this is typical of perpetrators and we needlessly live our lives in self-inflicted solitude believing that society will (as it has in the past) shame us and lay the mantle of stigma upon us. Over the years this may turn into depression and forms of mental illness. This book helps the victim break out of the feeling of shame and step boldly onto the road to recovery. An excellent book that every male victim and his family should read.

By Reader (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Victims No Longer (Second Edition): The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse (Paperback)
VICTIMS NO LONGER helped me to begin to learn that I had dignity, humanity, and value. Lew is a tough read no doubt! Sexually abused as a 12 year old, emotionally abused as a child and then sexually harassed by a male manager in my workplace, finding children chat bookmarks on my workstation browswer, I was fired by a major english medical school in E. Canada just broaching the subject to my psychiatrist, a work staff psychiatrist.After avoidance, humiliation and dehumanizing insults from most GP's some clergy, psychiatrists and even a Liberal politician (Canada)and some family I was on the precipice of a premature judgement. I was on my way out and abandoned save my faith, a group of compassionate men and women survivors I found after five years of despondant blind searching, and then....Mike Lew. For the Christian male adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, mind who your first Love is, then read Lew accordingly. 'Victims No Longer' gently touches and affirms the reality and palpability of your pain (exacerbated by institutionalized social avoidance,) your abandonment, hopelesness all with compassion and dignity. You can begin to learn to stand up and count yourself one of the few unindoctrinated by status quo cowardice and fear, and a member of the rare courageous living. Not just meaningless academic apriori fishing, but human, ethical which meets you at your level. A Must Read!

This review is from: Victims No Longer (Second Edition): The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse (Paperback)
I bought this book for my partner as a first step into his recovery. It is a very powerful book full of GREAT information! I recommend it for anyone who knows someone who needs a place to start that isn't too overwhelming; or if you personally need a place to start. A very powerful read. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
