Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Bass and Davis, coauthors of The Courage To Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse ( LJ 5/15/88), offer a compact, easy-to-read, self-help guide for the sexually abused. The authors attempt to condense and simplify the information in their previous work to make it more accessible to younger readers, new adult readers, and those who need information to facilitate recovery. Emphasizing that healing is possible, the authors identify the stages of healing, including denial, remembering, talking about the abuse, anger, spirituality, forgiveness, and moving on to a healthier life. Case histories are presented throughout, along with simple, common-sense advice on how to handle each phase of recovery. With the current focus on sexual abuse and the popularity of the author's previous work, this title will probably be in demand. Also of interest is Carol Poston and Karen C. Lison's Reclaiming Our Lives: Hope for Adult Survivors of Incest ( LJ 3/1/89).

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written, Feb 13 2004
By A Customer
As far as books go I would have to say that this book, ranks up there as one of the best I have read. Extrememly well written. The author does an excellent job of pulling the reader in and making them understand. This book is in the same type of genre as two other books I have read that I find to be equally as good. Nightmares Echo and Courage to Heal. Each is excellent in its own right.

5.0 out of 5 stars begining to heal.....a definite winner, Oct 17 2000
i found the book, beginning to heal to be a definite winner....especially when a friend of mine asked for more information about child sexual abuse....and i knew that the larger book...the courage to heal...would be extremely overwhelming.....

it gave my friend enough information to realize that she had been doing all the right things for me....believing...listening....supporting...and the section for friends/family, etc....helped her out too...to know when to take time for herself...and how to do it without jepordizing our friendship.....i recommend this book to anyone who wants to know just a little about child sexual abuse.....but isn't prepared to read a huge book....*though courage to heal is a faboulus book...just can be intimdidating unless you are ready to confront it....*

5.0 out of 5 stars Small but So Supportive ..., Jul 24 2000
By Bernadette A. Moyer (Lutherville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This title is small but packs alot of support and positive words toward the abuse victim. Chapter topics include HEALING IS POSSIBLE, THE DECISION TO HEAL, UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WASN"T YOUR FAULT, THE CHILD WITHIN and more. All written with an under tone of support. There are also several stories of abuse told from the surviving victims view. The title is filled with insight and support and is best described as an excellent beginning point for those looking to heal. A very sensitive and difficult subject that is well addressed.
