The Courage to Heal - Third Edition - Revised and Expanded: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Great book.

Rating:


well-intentioned but potentially dangerous

I would recommend approaching this book with grave reservations. My ex-therapist recommended it to me and it really, for lack of a better phrase, jacked my head. In particular, the authors' repeated insistence that, "If you think something might have happened, it did happen," is an appallingly gross over-simplification of the way the human mind works. Please also note that neither of the authors have any training or certification in psychotherapy or counselling.

What a load of BS!!

"Some people are unable to remember any specific instantces like the ones metioned above but still have a a strong feeling something abusice happened to them." Page 25

This is witch hunt mentallity!! Gee if you have a feeling it means you were abused. Oh please. This books makes victims not helps them.
