Touchie Feelie Sham,
By Mike (Pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wounded Boys Heroic Men: A Man's Guide to Recovering from Child Abuse (Paperback)
Typical California feel good self-help schlok. Blaming the victim for not getting in touch with his feelings earlier (and of course not paying someone like Sonkin to "help"). Generally muddled pablum.

best self help book ever,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wounded Boys Heroic Men: A Man's Guide to Recovering from Child Abuse (Paperback)
This is a great book. I have found most self help books, and most psychologists, lacking empathy for victims of abuse. I have made many unsuccessful attempts in the past to work through my problems but never made any real progress. Dr. Sonkin breaks the process down into four steps- experiences, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors- which have made it possible for me to understand how to work through it all. And the great empathy he expresses was what allowed me to get beyond the usual andger and alienation I feel toward therapists, who tend to be judgemental and condescending. I went through and did all the exercises and wrote everything down- in particular writing down all the feelings lifted a great burden from me. If you are suffering from the effects of abuse, find a good therapist and get this book. Life will look a lot better.
